Situotions

Explonotions

1 A couple came home one evening and discovered an enormous hole in their roof, their dog dead and their furniture covered in litres of horrible-smelling matter. Upset by what they saw, the couple phoned the police who soon arrived to investigate. After several phone calls, the detective was finally able to explain to the couple what had happened.

It seemed thatthecontainer holding thewastefromthe plane lavator ies ona passing had burstopen. Thecontents frozein theatmosphere astheyfell towards theground, andthe r esulting blockof icehad smashed through theroofofthe unlucky couple'house, s kill i ng theirdogbefore melting allover theirbelongings.

2 A man in San Diego bought a satellite dish and decided to set it up himself. He climbed up the ladder and attachedthe dish to the side of his house.Then, with his wife inside the houseshoutingto him when the reception was best, he adjusted it. When they were satisfied, the man and his wife relaxed for the evening in front of the TV. Even though the next day was very hot, the couple decided to stay at home and watch television. That afternoon they heard fire-engine sirens and lots of shoutingoutside.When they went outside, they saw that the houseoppositewas on fire. The fire was put out, but the firemen couldn't work out how the fire had started.

Thenextday,however, a fire inspector wasexam ining the bur ntr emains whena sudd en flashofsunlight caught his attention. Theinspector eventually workedoutthatthe neighbour's satellite dishhad beenconcentrating thesun's raysonthecurtains ofthehouse andhadcaused thefir e.Them an wasfined$2,000 andforcedto takedownhissatellite dish.The nextyearhegotcable.

3 An old man from Hanover, Germany,had had enough of his cat. He was fed up with her scratching all the furniture and making a mess. So he gave her to a friend, who lived on the other side of town. He told his friend that he was getting too old to look after her. A week later, on a very cold winter day, the old man returned home from shopping and was surprised to see the cat shivering on his doorstep.The man was moved by the fact that his pet had found her way back from the other side of town in suchcold weather.He took the cat inside and gave her lots of lovine attention.

Thenextday,however, theold manmetanother friend, who asked himif hehadfoundhisc at. Theoldm ansaidhehadfound heronhisdoor step. Hisfr iend toldhim ,' 0h, well,I wasonthe othersideoftownwhenI saw yourcatintheroad.Although shehissed andstr uggled allthe way,I droveherhomeandleft yourdoor.' heroutside

4 In Vancouver, Canada, a burglar broke into a houseand had filled his bag with the owners' possessions when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes on him. Looking up, he saw an eagle staring at him with cold, merciless eyes. At first the man was too frightened to move, but after ten minutes he tried creeping towards the door. However, the eyes just followed him and he couldn't move.

Eventually, thehomeowners returned andfoundthethiefin theirlounge. W henthehusband turnedonthelight,thethief couldseethattheeaglewas Butit wastoolateandhe stuffed. wasarrested. Thehomeowner com m ented,' That deadeagl e wasbetterthananywatchdog, I cantellyou.'
