Here’s a joke to start out the day.
An Irishman and a Spainard walk onto the a street. A bull gores them.
After the second bull run of 2010 in Pamplona, Spain, the bulls now have a running total of eight people injured enough to visit the hospital. Thursday, two men were gored and four more injured, according to the Associated Press.
All told, thousands of people line the streets in Pamplona to either run as fast as they can as a dozen bulls race toward them, or gawk as drunken men (for some reason there never seem to be too many women involved in the bull run, though we don’t doubt there are some mixed in the masses).
Doctors told the Associated Press that one of the men gored was hit in the throat with a bull’s horn and was seriously injured. The man was gored in the chest. Both sound pretty serious to us.
But don’t worry, the injuries aren’t over yet. Last year, a man was killed — something that has happened 15 times since 1911. There are seven more bull runs this year at the San Fermin fiesta.
