A Bad Day

Juvenal woke up in his hotel, in Arusha, Tanzania, one morning and went straight to the shower. Running late, Juvenal tried to wash his body as fast as possible. He grabbed the shampoo and popped the bottle open. The shampoo shot out into his eye. He screamed in pain, "Fuck, my eye!"

Still in a hurry, and now with one eye burning with the sting of shampoo shooting into it, Juvenal rushed to get dressed. Searching for his pants, he stubbed his toe against the hotel bed. "Aw shit, my toe!" Juvenal bellowed.

He raced to catch his helicopter. He sat next to the man he had been working with for the past week, Cyprien. With his eye still burning and distracted by the pain in his toe, Juvenal looked down and realized that his fly was wide open. As discretely as possible, Juvenal zipped up his fly, hoping Cyprien hadn't seen his mistake. Their helicopter soon took off for Kigali. Then, it was shot down and everyone aboard died. This ignited the Rwandan genocide.



Now, that's a bad day!
