ISN'T IT IRONIC ... A guy in Washington State hit a utility pole with his car but wasn't seriously injured. After the accident, though, he relieved himself in a ditch while waiting for emergency crews to arrive ...

not realizing he was peeing on a downed power line from the crash. He was electrocuted and died instantly.

DOH! ... Derek West of South Burlington, Vermont, broke into a store around 4 Saturuday morning. Seems like a good time to do it, you know ... there aren't many people around at that hour.

Except that when you're the only guy around it makes it really easy for the cops to follow your footprints in the snow. Doh!

And that's just what the police did, right back to Derek's house.

WHAT THE??? ... An unidentified man on a flight from Poland to England discovered the scratch off lottery card he was holding was a winner, worth $13,620. Understandably, he became very excited ...

but there's no explanation for what he did next: He demanded that the airline crew cash his scratch off ticket right then and there, on the plane, in mid-air.

When the crew informed him that there was not sufficient money on board to cash the ticket, he ATE THE TICKET! Chewed it up and swallowed it.

Lottery officials say since there is now no evidence that he held a winning ticket, the money will be donated to charity.

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE ... You’ve got to be optimistic in a bad economy. For example, experts are crediting the recession for fewer shark attacks.

There were only 28 shark attacks in US waters last year, down from 41 the year earlier and the xperts say it’s because of the economy. With fewer people taking vacations or driving to the beach, there were fewer people to attack.

Honestly…when you start listing the pros and cons of the recession, 13 fewer people being bitten by sharks is not exactly the great equalizer. I mean, when you’re down to shark attacks…there really is no silver lining, is there?
