It's Funny Cause It's Not Me

My colleague ST challenged me not to laugh while reading this article. I failed miserably...

A WOMAN has suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.

Natasha Timarovic, 27, was cleaning her teeth at home when lightning struck the building.

She said: "I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.

I don't remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had travelled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.

It was incredibly painful, I felt it pass through my torso and then I don't remember much at all." Doctors at the city hospital where she was treated for burns to the mouth and rear said: "The accident is bizarre but not impossible.

She was wearing rubber bathroom shoes at the time and so instead of earthing through her feet it appears the electricity shot out of her backside," a medic told local television news channel, 24 Sata.

And the important remaining question is, what happens if she was wearing rubber pants?

Update: Wojr was stunned to see me post a story that is more in keeping with what ends up on his blog. He's right, of course, but I refer him to the fact that I was merely acting on a tip from one my five readers (my family stopped reading this blog a long time ago -- Indians only use computers for productive purposes). I have to keep the few people reading this happy, or... well, I'm not sure what they would do, but whatever. Of course, this has resulted in two things -- a political post from Wojr that is far funnier than anything I've written recently, and the realization that Wojr and my colleague ST think alike.

I'm not sure who should be more scared -- Wojr (who's now thinking like a lawyer), ST (who's now thinking like Wojr), or their respective families. Unfortunately for ST, I hear that once you go Wojr, you never go back. My only thought is that as the bridge between these two worlds, I apologize to both of them.
