Jellyfish in an Awkward Place

I received an email from my Dad this week about a guy who won the "Worst Day at Work" competition for a radio station. This guy is a diver who repairs drilling rigs and so he is having to swim deep in the sea even in chilly weather. The way this is remedied is through a pump that sucks the seawater up and heats and then pumps back through a hose that the diver sticks into his suit so that warm water fills his suit and keeps him warm. Unfortunately, on this solemn occasion the diver felt a burning pain on his butt. It wasn't long before he realized that the pump had sucked up a jelly fish that was now firmly lodged not on, but in, his butt. The pain of the stinging jelly fish was agonizing, but worse, he had to radio the guys he worked with on shore and tell them that he had a jellyfish "issue." When he got up to the shore (finally) he was butt naked from having stripped everything off. He was only wearing his diver's helmet.

His concluding remarks were "so, if you think you are having a bad day, just be thankful that you don't have a jellyfish in your butt."

That is my new personal motto.
