Jokes from my brother (Think you are having a bad day part 1)

I doubt these stories are true, but they are a good laugh:

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section
of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire.

The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba
tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask. A postmortem test revealed
that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries.
Dental records provided a positive identification.

Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver ended up in the
middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire,
the man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The
fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had
called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water
was dipped from the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket
300 feet in the air. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed
but keep reading....
