Olympics fan takes the high jump
A desperate sports fan took a high jump from his second storey apartment - when his wife banned him from watching the Olympics on television.
Athletics-mad Cornel Hobai, 42, leapt from the balcony when his wife pulled the plug after enduring hours of TV from Beijing.
But he amazed medics when he escaped with just a sprained ankle after falling more than 20 feet onto grass below.
Dr Tudor Ciuhodaru at Iasi Hospital said: "It seems that not being able to watch what he wanted on the TV was the last straw."
-------------------
Why couldn't she just have sent him out for a beer at the bar?
NO, she was rude and unplugged it while he was watching!;)
