Still Waters Posted October 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2013 A rodeo clown has miraculously survived after being struck by lightning twice on the same day. Casey Wagner was taking part in a Rednecks With Paychecks off-road driving event in Saint Jo, Texas, when a storm hit. He sheltered under a tree and was struck by lightning. "What I remember is just a loud boom and it dropped me to my knees - and then it hit me again," he told CBS News. http://uk.news.yahoo...88.html#hRTQBwu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insaniac Posted October 30, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hope the bloke isn't hurt. Maybe God disproves of his humour? lol My father was struck by lightning once. He survived because he was wearing a pair of wellingtons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted October 30, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 30, 2013 And when the ambulance arrived the doors and wheels fell off. Such is the luck of a rodeo clown. You forgot the part where 50 or 60 clown doctors jump out of the broken down ambulance and run around sparying each other with seltzer bottles. :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you one thing, I'm going to start going to church more." Uhm, not to be glib, but wasn't it God that struck you in the first place? Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Bishop Posted November 3, 2013 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Lesson number 1: Do not dress as a clown Lesson number 2: Don't attend redneck festivals Lesson number 3: Don't thank a fictional human construct such as god for surviving as if he did exist, he would probably be the one trying to headshot you with electricity Edited November 3, 2013 by Heroic Bishop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
