A Commute Down the Toilet

#1 Postby southerngale » Tue Nov 11, 2003 2:27 pm

NEW YORK - A commuter train from New York was delayed by a highly embarrassed man whose arm was stuck in a toilet up to the elbow, a newspaper reported last Friday. The 6:19 p.m. train to Mount Vernon West had barely left Grand Central Terminal when a Bronx man's cellular phone fell into the toilet. When he reached in to retrieve it, his arm became firmly stuck, the Westchester (N.Y.) Journal News said. The train and its passengers waited for emergency crews to arrive. After tearing off the bathroom door and walls, rescue crews used an acetylene torch to cut through the stainless-steel commode and free the stuck passenger at 7:35 p.m. At least 1,000 commuterS arrived late at their destinations. The phone was not recovered.

Actually, this was posted a couple of weeks or so ago when it happened.

But again, I'll ask...was he really planning on putting that thing back up to his face if he did manage to retrieve it?
