Firefighters rescue drunk, naked man from porta-toilet

Because of the human waste and the formaldehyde-based chemicals in the toilet, rescuers had to put on biohazard suits to rescue the man. Using liquid soap and a saw to cut away the plastic toilet, the guy was eventually released from his predicament after about 25 minutes. (Lebanon Daily News)

What is it with people climbing into shitters. This one sounds like the freak that was busted for checking out the chicks by climbing into the shitter in hipwaders in a state park. Said he lost his ring. Ya right.

Did he climb in there to masturbate? Ewwww.

[AngrySockMonkey]

was he claiming to be jesus too?

[Reno]

What a shitty way to end a perfectly good buzz.

[lawdog]

Betcha he is having one crappy day.
(Sorry, it had to be said)

[some chick]

Someone failed to explain to him that "shitty drunk" is merely a figure of speech.

[RicaB]

Props to the local news writer for a clever hed ... musta had fun with that one!

[Farmer Bob and the City]

Sterilize him.

“This defies sober logic,” Harvey said.

They pretty much could have written this story with a Headline and the above quote.

HOW ABOUT THE DRUNK ...DID HE GET BIO-HAZARD TREATMENT AS WELL.

[nellagain]

These stories always bring out the "What was the *exact* sequence of events again?" type questions for me.
Like

"At what moment, precisely, did climbing into the portapotty seem like a good idea?"

[stopeatingmysesamecake]

"Lebanon firefighters were Johnnies-on-the-spot for a man who got himself into a stinker of a situation over the weekend."

I want to punch that reporter dead in the face for that opening line.

[Jaxx]

LMAO, only in PA and Alabama and well maybe WV, ops can not leave out CA

It's a Pennsylvania thing. There was a nearly identical incident only about a mile from home (in a different part of our great Commonwealth), several years ago. I believe drinking was also a factor in that one--it was right across the street from a bar--but it may have been kinkier than that; it's just so hard to keep track.

Sh*t for brains...!!!

LOL Jabber!

“This defies sober logic” I think is the headline for 2/3 of the articles here.

[Drake Timbershaft]

My Chief can even ask nicely - I'm not the one doing the rescuing.

Dick C. Normas, {I can't believe I just typed that. What's the C stand for?}
That dude in the holding tank? I remember that story. Didn't he also have a camera to document his ring search? Years ago, jog my memory. Was it in Maine?

stopeatingmysesamecake;
Almost my exact sentiment for the reporter. Palm a role of nickels first.

[Reno]

I think the C. makes it plural when said aloud, but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

when i was in Iraq a Sergeant Major in my brigade was in a johnny when wind storm kicked up and knocked it over with him sitting in there doing his thing. (they're supposed to be weighted down with sandbags) it was actually humorous as hell watchin 3 engineers and 2 butter bar lieutenants try and set it up right and drag him out. i gotta tell ya though there is nothing in this world scarier than a Command Sergeant Major with sh*t on his shoulder (among other places). on an even more humorous note he went into his command vehicle and proceeded to kick every single window out while chewing 3 assholes, new assholes.

[Rash Limbaugh]

I'd better get used to being in the crapper.

[Reno]

Thomas, taking a guess here, but does that mean innovative and wise? Or should I keep pondering?

[danais]

reno--

intuitive :o)

[Reno]

Thanks danais, it came to me during my smoke break! Amazing how a little nicotine can clear the cobwebs! Duh...

[thomas]

Reno;
Check out the little softbound Sunburst Book I borrowed that from, by sometime cartoonist William Steig. Titled as CDC? Great visual phonetic fun that could still inspire texters.

danais; cool, I know your dad.

[Reno]

Thanks Thomas, I'm checking it out now. (online)

"Lebanon firefighters were Johnnies-on-the-spot for a man who got himself into a stinker of a situation over the weekend"

How witty. Nothing like a couple of bad puns to earn a pulitzer!

[Ces Parker]

Why do the commenters here seem to have personally fallin' into a cess pool of thought, the comments are so incredible small-minded, so stupid one has to wonder about how they have connected to the world wide web?

[whatthefuck]

HOW COULD HE BE GOD.....I AM

[KC]

[I know they're off-topic, but I'm only following suit....]

There is a William Steig book called 'CDC' (which "translates" into "See the Sea"), but his first one was 'CDB' ("See the Bee"). They're cute and clever, if not particularly high art. Picture a cartoon sketch of a kid trying to put something together, saying 'O 4 A 2-L' (= "Oh, for a tool."). They could be considered the source for the concept of text-messaging shorthand, e.g. RU for "are you".

And I suspect the C. represents in part a contraction for "is", with an implied preceding word -- "[My] dick's e-...."

yuck. I had a friend in a porta toilet and I shook it to make him think I was going to tip it over. I didn't though. He was pissed ;-)
