>If you think you're having a bad day...

>Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt out section of
>forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male
>was dressed in a full wetsuit, complete with a dive tank, flippers and face
>mask. A post-mortem examination revealed that the person died not from
>burns but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a
>positive identification.
>
>Investigators then set about determining how a fully clad diver ended up in
>the middle of a forest fire.
>
>It was revealed that, on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving
>trip off the coast -- some 20 kilometers away from the forest. The
>firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in
>a fleet of helicopters with very large buckets. The buckets were dropped
>into the ocean for rapid filling, then flown to the forest fire and
>emptied.
>
>You guessed it!!! One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
>Pacific, the next he was doing a breaststroke in a fire bucket 300m in the
>air. Apparently, he extinguished exactly 1.78m (5'10") of the fire.

>Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!!!!!
