Talk About Bad Days

I thought I was having a bad day when I saw a news item from Bangkok entitled "Hippo Eats Dwarf." It seems a circus dwarf nicknamed Od bounced sideways on a trampoline and landed in the yawning mouth of a hippo who was standing nearby and was to be part of the next act. The hippo's gag reflex caused him to swallow, thus eating poor Mr. Od. Worse yet is that the audience was clapping wildly thinking it part of the act - until it was realized as a tragedy.

Suddenly I feel better!
