Then there was the man who, to combat a major roach infestation, sealed his house and set off a bug bomb in every room while he enjoyed beer, pretzels, and hot dogs on the back yard patio. The result was an explosion and fire — with a tsk, tsk from the manufacturer about his violation of the obscure safety warning that appeared in 10 point type on the packaging.
I heard of a story of a fellow who was working on his roof. He tied a rope to the bumper of his pickup and the other end to his waist crossing the peak of the roof.
His wife got in the truck to go somewhere and raced off dragging her husband up the roof and then down the other side and onto the ground.
Talk about a bad day.
