Butrfly's Wonderings

ROFLMAO! Several thoughts came at once, upon reading this story.

1. How long it will take someone to invent "Beano For Outhouses."
2. I don't think I'd want my name or condition available either.
3. How did the hospital admissions people keep a straight face while recording the details of the accident?
4. Will there be worker's compensation for that explosive fart?
5. Where were the camcorders when you need them?

Smoker Ignites Portable Toilet Explosion
Jul 15, 7:25 AM (ET)

BLACKSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Warning: smoking in the toilet can be dangerous. A portable toilet exploded Tuesday after a man who was inside it lit a cigarette.

Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday.

The explosion, which occurred in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services.
