In 1992, Frank Perkins of Los Angeles made an attempt on the world
flagpole-sitting record. Suffering from the flu he came down eight hours
short of the 400 day record, his sponsor had gone bust, his girlfriend had
left him and his phone and electricity had been cut off.

What about this poor guy? A woman came home to find her husband in the
kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his
waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the
deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door,
breaking his arm in two
places. Till that moment he had been happily listening and dancing to his
Walkman.
