DOUBLE TROUBLE: TOURISTS HAVE A NICE FALL

1. A tourist in Bali survived falling off a cliff while doing a backflip. The man was at a popular tourist destination called Broken Bay on Nusa Penida, posing for photos at the edge of the cliff, when he started doing backflips, missed, and landed on the sand about 120 feet below. Waves lapped at him as he writhed on the beach grabbing his leg. Rescuers were hindered by the dangerous terrain surrounding the cliff. They also attempted to reach the man by boat but were blocked by waves. Finally, one rescuer was able to drop down from the cliffside and get him on a stretcher, which was then pulled up. The man was taken to hospital suffering serious leg and arm injuries.
* The lapping waves were a nice touch, like when Wiley Coyote’s smashed on the bottom of the canyon and the squeaky wheel on his roller skate is still spinning.
* Then the stinging jellyfish attacked.
2. A man fell off a Carnival Cruise ship last Wednesday. The unidentified 28-year-old man was having drinks with his sister at a bar on the ship around 11pm Wednesday night and excused himself to use the restroom. He did not return to the bar, nor did her return to his room. His sister reported him missing around noon the next day, on Thanksgiving. After hours of searching the ship and retracing the route of the ship, the man was spotted in the ocean by another vessel. A US Coast Guard helicopter rescue crew pulled him out of the ocean. He was flown to New Orleans for treatment and is in stable condition, and the cruise ship continued on to Cozumel, Mexico.
* She waited 13 hours to report him missing? So you’re pretty close to your brother, are you?
* Do you get the feeling he tried to pee off the side of the ship?
* “I don’t care if the water IS cold – I am NOT dancing in another conga line!!”
* These resorts and vacation companies need to have their guests sign a waiver saying they understand how gravity works.
