Reuters - Tel Aviv

An Israeli woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach put her husband in
the hospital with burns, a broken pelvis and broken ribs, the Jerusalem
Post newspaper reported yesterday.

The woman, frightened by the insect when she found it in their living
room, stepped on it, threw it in a toilet and sprayed a full can of
insecticide on it when it refused to die.

Her husband came home from work, went to the toilet and lit a cigarette.
When he threw the cigarette butt into the bowl, the insecticide fumes
ignited, "seriously burning his sensitive parts," the Post wrote.

When paramedics were called to the home in Tel Aviv, they laughed so
hard when they learned what had happened that they dropped the stretcher
down the stairs, breaking the unidentified man's pelvis and ribs.
