Urban Legends....this has probably been done before but add a few more....
The Charred Scuba Diver
To help put out a forest-fire helicopters sometimes scoop large containers of water out of lakes and oceans to dump on the blazes. During one such occasion a man enjoying a bit of scuba-diving was accidently scooped up and dropped into the burning trees.
The Stuck Santa
One Christmas Eve a man dressed up as Santa Claus tried to go down his chimney to surprise his young children. It wasn't until he started to stink that they realize he'd gotten stuck and been cooked. -Also told as he broke his neck, or got stuck and died from smoke inhalation.
Booby-Trapped Toilets
A zero-population-growth terrorism group called "No More" has been setting up little guillotines under the rims of public toilet seats. When a pressure sensor senses someone sitting on the toilet a razor-sharp blade slashes across the front half of the toilet with the purpose of damaging/removing the victims testicles.
The Blind Date
The man who worked in the drugstore was getting tired of watching the nervous teenager wander around the store so he asked him if he could help him. The boy stammered a little and the druggist pulled some condoms from behind the counter and asked if that was what he was looking for. The teenagers said it was. The amused man told the boy not to worry, he was sure he'd do fine. He gave him some words of encouragement, wished him luck and told him with a wink, "I'm counting on you to become a regular customer." That evening as the young man approached the door of his date's house he was thankful for the "pep-talk" the man in the drugstore had given him, his confidence quickly disappeared when he rang the bell and his date's father, the druggist, answered the door.
The Blind Man
An attractive young woman was taking a shower one day and the doorbell started ringing. She jumped out to get it, but couldn't find a towel to wrap herself in. As she headed for the bedroom to grab something, she yelled "Who's there?" The voice called out, "It's the blind man." The woman guessed he wanted to sell some pencils or something and stopped, realizing she didn't have to get any of her clothes wet, he couldn't see her anyway. When she opened the door a wide-eyed man in gray coveralls asked her "Uh, where do you want me to hang your blinds?"
(I like that one....Blue )
The Killer in the Back Seat
As a woman was getting into her car she noticed a man with a strange look on his face walking quickly toward her. She jumped into the car and drove away, but before long she saw the man was following her in another car. She panicked and drove home as quickly as she could, swerved into the driveway and screamed for her husband. Her husband ran out just as the following man pulled up, jumped from his car and yelled "Lady, there's someone hiding in your back seat!"
