So...You think you are having a bad day?

* A fierce gust of wind blew 45-year-old Vittorio Luise's car into ariver near Naples, Italy, in 1983. He managed to break a window, climbout and swim to shore -- where a tree blew over and killed him.

* Mike Stewart, 31, of Dallas was filming a movie in 1983 on thedangers of low-level bridges when the truck he was standing on passedunder a low-level bridge -- killing him.

* Walter Hallas, a 26-year-old store clerk in Leeds, England, was soafraid of dentists that in 1979 he asked a fellow worker to try tocure his toothache by punching him in the jaw. The punch caused Hallasto fall down, hitting his head, and he died of a fractured skull.

* George Schwartz, owner of a factory in Providence, R.I., narrowlyescaped death when a 1983 blast flattened his factory except for onewall. After treatment for minor injuries, he returned to the scene tosearch for files. The remaining wall then collapsed on him, killinghim.

* A man hit by a car in New York in 1977 got up uninjured, but layback down in front of the car when a bystander told him to pretend hewas hurt so he could collect insurance money. The car rolled forwardand crushed him to death.

* Surprised while burgling a house in Antwerp, Belgium, a thief fledout the back door, clambered over a nine-foot wall, dropped down andfound himself in the city prison.

* In 1976 a twenty-two-year-old Irishman, Bob Finnegan, was crossingthe busy Falls Road in Belfast, when he was struck by a taxi and flungover its roof. The taxi drove away and, as Finnegan lay stunned in theroad, another car ran into him, rolling him into the gutter. It toodrove on. As a knot of gawkers gathered to examine the magneticIrishman, a delivery van plowed through the crowd, leaving in its wakethree injured bystanders and an even more battered Bob Finnegan. Whena fourth vehicle came along, the crowd wisely scattered and only oneperson was hit -- Bob Finnegan. In the space of two minutes Finnegansuffered a fractured skull, broken pelvis, broken leg, and otherassorted injuries. Hospital officials said he would recover.

* While motorcycling through the Hungarian countryside, Cristo Falatticame up to a railway line just as the crossing gates were comingdown. While he sat idling, he was joined by a farmer with a goat,which the farmer tethered to the crossing gate. A few moments later ahorse and cart drew up behind Falatti, followed in short order by aman in a sports car. When the train roared through the crossing, thehorse startled and bit Falatti on the arm. Not a man to be trifledwith, Falatti responded by punching the horse in the head. Inconsequence the horse's owner jumped down from his cart and beganscuffling with the motorcyclist. The horse, which was not up to thissort of excitement, backed away briskly, smashing the cart into thesportscar. At this, the sportscar driver leaped out of his car andjoined the fray. The farmer came forward to try to pacify the threeflailing men. As he did so, the crossing gates rose and his goat wasstrangled. At last report, the insurance companies were still tryingto sort out the claims.

* Two West German motorists had an all-too-literal head-on collisionin heavy fog near the small town of Guetersloh. Each was guiding hiscar at a snail's pace near the center of the road. At the moment ofimpact their heads were both out of the windows when they smackedtogether. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries. Theircars weren't scratched.

* Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessantnagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built anelaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself. Whenhis wife came home and saw him she fainted. Hearing a disturbance aneighbor came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses,seized the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving theroom, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked herstoutly in the backside. This so surprised the lady that she droppeddead of a heart attack. Happily, Mr. Fen was acquitted ofmanslaughter and he and his wife were reconciled.

* An unidentified English woman, according to the London SundayExpress was climbing into the bathtub one afternoon when sheremembered she had left some muffins in the oven. Naked, she dasheddownstairs and was removing the muffins when she heard a noise at thedoor. Thinking it was the baker, and knowing he would come in andleave a loaf of bread on the kitchen table if she didn't answer hisknock, the woman darted into the broom cupboard. A few moments latershe heard the back door open and, to her eternal mortification, thesound of footsteps coming toward the cupboard. It was the man from thegas company, come to read the meter. "Oh," stammered the woman, "I wasexpecting the baker." The gas man blinked, excused himself anddeparted.
