Think you are having a bad day?
Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of
Forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male
Was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back,
Flippers, and face mask.
A postmortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from
Massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification
Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver ended up
In the middle of a forest fire.
It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off the
Coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control
The fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with
Very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and emptied at the
Site of the forest fire.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300
Feet in the air.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
