WHAKATANE, New Zealand (PIX11)— New Zealand trucker Steven McCormack is either the luckiest or unluckiest person in the world, depending on one’s perspective.

McCormack was working on his tractor trailer at a gas station in Whakatane, on the North Island’s east coast, when he slipped and fell, landing on a broken high pressure air valve.

No worries. Have some beans.

Reminds me of the time we caught a psych patient carrying an old style soda-acid fire extinguisher down the hall. Asked him why he had it, and he told us his room mate ‘needed an enema, and the nurse wouldn’t give him one.”

I don’t know why the LA Times is bringing this up now, it happened almost three years ago. A perennial favorite, I guess.

Because nobody will bother reading the "Three Arabs Set RV Cruise Control Then Went Into The Kitchen" story any more.

Helpful fellow.

I’ve seen animals skinned using the same method.

It’s fusilli Jerry!

Not only does he suffer a grotesque injury, he’s the subject of jokes...

Don't you mean "he's the Butt of cruel jokes"?

Haven't read the article but sounds like something out of A Thousand Ways To Die.
