IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY....READ THIS.
It always entails a man and a sliding glass window that he fails to notice is closed or runs into. As I originally heard it, he has the sliding glass door open while mowing the lawn so he can go into the house, get a drink of water and cool off. In this version, without his knowledge, his wife closes the door.
In the most recent version, he rides a motorcycle into the door. He walks/rides through the plate glass and sustains non-life-threatening (but significant) cuts that require stitches
While he is en route to the ER, his wife, in a panic, cleans up or throws away gasoline associated with whatever activity was incidental to the accident. In the one where he was cutting the lawn, he had placed the gasoline for the mower in a glass jar. In the other, when he crashes the motorcycle he spills some of its gas on the patio. The wife cleans it up with paper towels. Ultimately, the gasoline (or gasoline soaked towels) end up in the household toilet.
Later that day, when the now heavily-sutured hubby returns home, he decides to use the bathroom. After he sits down, he drops his lit cigarette in the toilet. It explodes, causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the man's rear and genitals. Once again, the paramedics come out to take him to the hospital.
The recent version of this story includes a final insult to the man where, as the wife is relating the causes of the accident to the next set of paramedics who show up, they laugh so hard they drop the man from the gurney onto the ground, causing a broken bone. (In the original version, the doctors or paramedics warn the man that his wife may be trying to kill him.)
