Woman gets stuck to airline toilet for two hours. The American woman used the toilet, but pushed the flush button before standing up.

Rule 1: Never flush while sitting. You must check to make sure all the internal parts remained internal before you flush.

"Cabin crews are generally on the look-out for passengers who remain locked in plane toilets, in case they are smoking or engaging in other forbidden activities. "

Hmmm... whatever could they be talking about.

Just the thought of being stuck to a toilet at 30,000 (or whatever) feet gives me the shivers. Obviously she wasn't claustrophobic.

It really makes me feel better that the article ends with "It is rare for a passenger to remain in a toilet against his or her will."

I'm so glad.

This reminds me of a joke: Sven and Olgy go hunting in the woods. They shoot a deer and prepare it for cooking. Sven walks off to go to the bathroom behind a tree. Olgy sneaks up behind him and under him places the innards of the deer before scurrying away.

A minute later, Sven comes running back to Olgy.

"OLGY, OLGY! I shit my brains out! But by the grace of God and these two fingers, I put them all back!"

This has showed up as a FPP 3 times now.

Guess we're kind of stuck on it.

engaging in other forbidden activities.

Why is sex in a airplane/train lavatory not allowed? I've been busted on it (before really getting going, BTW), and I don't see what the problem is. Honestly.

swift - I can't find it, but this is an old story - I know its been FPP'd here before, but damned if I can find it.

Besides, I thought everyone would pay more attention to the punchline of my post. "stuck on it" -- get it! hah! "stuck on it" -- I kill me.

Pretty vacuous if you ask me.

although i'm sure being stuck was bad, at least all of her internal organs stayed inside.

Thanks alot, people. Now my ass feels all...*tingly*...and I'm picturing myself walking around dragging my colon behind me.

Talk about a high colonic.

I think that would be a low colonic (get it, wink wink)

Did she end up with a huge toilet-shaped hickey?

Who the heck presses the flush button before standing up, that's what I want to know!

Ash.

I'll never be able to reread Robert Heinlein's "Gentlemen, Be Seated" again. Oook.
