The Honda Owner 

A dragline operator in Belle Glade, Florida, was so proud of his new 750 Honda that he invited a neighbour over to show off the machine. As the two men were standing on the patio admiring the motorcycle, the new owner pressed the electric starter button in order to prove how quietly the engine ran. The motorcycle was in gear, and plunged through a glass door into his living room, dragging him along with it. He was taken to the hospital, where he received treatment for numerous cuts on his arms and face. Meanwhile, his wife was sopping up gasoline that was leaking from the motorcycle, which was lying on its side in the living room. She flushed some gasoline-soaked paper towels down the toilet.

Her husband returned home from the hospital, saw his new motorcycle and the shattered patio door, and took shelter in his bathroom. He lit a cigarette and sat on the john, dropping the match into the toilet bowl. The paper towels had clogged the pipes, and the match detonated the gasoline. The explosion blew the commode to pieces and propelled the man into the air, inflicting third degree burns on his exposed underside.
