Man's arm trapped in train toilet

[Cort Haus]

A passenger on a French train had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet.

The 26-year-old victim was trapped when he tried to fish out his mobile phone, which had fallen into the toilet bowl, and fell foul of the suction system.

The high-speed TGV train had to stop for two hours while firemen cut through the train's pipework.

The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.

The incident happened on Sunday evening, aboard a train travelling in western France between La Rochelle and Paris.

Texans still lead by a fair margin on the "those silly foreigners" scale.

Moral of the story: Don't put your cell phone in the toilet.

2nd moral : don't crap on French trains if you have droopy balls.

I heard/read somewhere that cell phones are now one of the top items dropped in toilets. Sorry, no links.

My work here is nearly complete. The rest of the U.S. is now referring to Texas as another country.
