No Matter How Bad Your Day Was…

Drunk driver + “habitual offender” + school bus = NMHB.

A British teacher in Sudan has been arrested – for allowing the class of children to name their class teddy bear Muhammad. Several teachers complained and the teacher was arrested on charges of insulting the prophet of Islam. The children picked several names and voted on them, and 20 of 23 children selected the name Muhammad, so clearly it was entirely her fault for instigating the insulting name choice.

Bonus:

“The BBC has learned the charge could lead to six months in jail, 40 lashes or a fine.”

Well, after all, we wouldn’t want her punishment not to fit the crime. That would be just silly, unreasonable, and maybe even a little insane.

Today’s NMHB is so out there that I honestly hope it’s a hoax. The Sun is reporting that a Russian man kept his family imprisoned for two years in a camp modeled after Auschwitz. The man’s wife and five children lived in squalor and harsh conditions, surrounded by barbed wire fencing and 20 ferocious guard dogs preventing their escape. Talk about having a bad day…

Not sure what’s worse: coming home to find your apartment full of tear gas, or having your stolen SUV hit by a train – TWICE.

Count yourself lucky today that you don’t own Carpet Classic Floor Studio – two drunk drivers simultaneously lost control of their vehicles and crashed through the storefront of the business. In unrelated but just as surprising news, bladder explosions are on the rise, due to increased binge drinking. Woo hoo! Go modern, intelligent society!

Bad: car accident. Worse: getting into a fight over it. Worse still: pulling a knife, getting it taken from you, and getting cut with your own knife. Bad: your finger was cut off. Worse: you get to the hospital that’s a leader in severed limb and digit reattachment, and they lose your finger (as in lost & found, not “we couldn’t save it, sir”). Worst: they proceed to try to get you to sign a waiver saying it’s ok and bill you $3000.

If you’re visiting Tanzania and need to have surgery, you better hope you don’t have the same first name as another patient. Otherwise, you might end up getting incredibly dangerous brain surgery to remove a non-existent tumor instead of a knee operation.

I thought for sure we’d covered this under our previous post A Dash Of Extreme Training, but obviously some people haven’t gotten the message yet: when you argue with a train, you always lose – even if you’re “just being silly”.

You know, some people have it rough growing up, they never get a chance to hug their dad. Then there’s Debbie Brewer – she got incurable asbestos-related cancer from hugging her father when he came home from work.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking – half of you are thinking “but cockatoos aren’t dangerous!”. The other half are thinking “what the hell is a cockatoo?”. Anyway, if you’re thinking that a cockatoo can’t be dangerous, then today’s story will make you reconsider. A man died after falling from a tree while trying to rescue his neighbor’s pet cockatoo. Oh, and the kicker – where was the neighbor during all of this? At the hospital, being treated for spinal injuries sustained when he fell from the same tree. You guessed it, also while trying to retrieve his pet.

Look on the bright side, at least odds are good your obituary won’t read “died chasing cockatoo”.
