    Having a bad day? Just remember, it could be worse.....
    (Taken from a Florida Newspaper)


    1.      The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon
    Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most
    expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers
    and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale
    ate them both.

    2.      A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to
    a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions.
    After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her with an ax leaving her
    mentally retarded.

    3.      A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking
    frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist
    towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current
    she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his
    arm in two places.
    Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

    4.      Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of
    sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly the pigs,
    all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded
    trampling the two hapless protesters to death.

    And finally.......

    5.      Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a
    letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it.
    Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

     
    Your day's not so bad, is it?
