Glue on Public Toilet Seat Called Sick Joke | Print |  E-mail

WIRES

CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA

 

A man who used a public toilet in a shopping mall was taken to a hospital to have the toilet seat removed from his backside after someone smeared it with glue in what an official condemned Monday as a sick joke.

Police urged possible witnesses to come forward after the 58-year-old man was humiliated in the northeastern city of Cairns by the prank.

An ambulance was called to help the man after he was found stuck by fast-acting adhesive glue to a toilet seat on Saturday in the busy shopping mall.

Paramedics removed the seat from the toilet and took him to a hospital, where medical staff used industrial solvents to get it off.

Cairns local government official Di Forsyth said the man, who was not identified, was not injured but was "extremely embarrassed" by his experience.

"I'm disgusted that a gentlemen has had to go through that because someone thinks it's funny," Forsyth said. "It's a sick joke."

How does someone go into these public crappers and not see something on them, hell if I have to go that bad I wipe it down with TP and then grab me a PAPER ASS GASKET or make me one out of the TP.

Thanks for letting us know where you will need to bring your own ASS GASKETS along with you. The wife had bought me a little box of portable “Ass Gasket” (little purse size, you women think of everything to carry in them)

The nicest Ass Gasket setup I had ever seen was at Chicago airport. You push a button and a pre-wrapped crapper seat just rotates a fresh gasket around the seat for you.

AAHHHH Ass Gaskets, what will they think up next.? smilies/cheesy.gif

88pdx: I make my own! I'm a regular/petite Martha Stewart!!
My Mama taught me how to fold 'em and place 'em on my own when I was little. My luck: when I went into the Chicago Airport toilets, on our way to China, into to the plastic wrapped ones, and there was a poopstreak where someone must have gripped on and strained like Elvis on pain meds! Plastic was torn and got pooped on it, but the seat rotated and covered the poopstreak with new plastic. I know, I know, it was covered with new plastic, but I still chose another toilet. Eww Factor! Now, in the City of Chicago, the places we went to didn't have the wall-hanging Ass Gaskets we are accustomed to even at the famous original Pizzeria Uno or The Weber Grill. (As a woman, when it's #1, I have perfected "The Butt Hover" even with a spinal cord injury. This is something most women will relate to! Men are just damn lucky and Freud was right: we are envious of your "outdoor plumbing!")

Ghastliest toilets? China! BYOTP everywhere you go. Chinese Trains? Worst! They are just a hole so you "don't use the toilet while the train is in the station" and don't carry anything in your pockets, your passport, money, camera, etc. because it stays safe with the spouse! The ones on a boat were not bad, just make sure the wake passes before you drop and kneel over the hole with stainless steel trays you squat over to release brown trout. There are some Western Toilets, as they are called over there. Gimme a rootin' tootin' six-gun shootin' Western Toilet any day! It's so good to come home after a visit to China. The food was great! The toilets were not. Ass Gaskets and Western Toilets would be a Great Leap Forward for China, especially when you have to bring your own toilet paper into every bathroom you visit. I heard that they had put squatty potties in all of the newly built Olympic venues, then had to rip them all out and plumb in Westen Toilets for the Western Visitors, so as not to appear ass-backwards. Nice to see another government wasting money as efficiently as ours does! smilies/wink.gif

The story took me back a few years...

I went into a brand new Mobile gas station in Olongopo one time to use the restroom. Figured it would have decent facilities. They had jack hammered a hole in the concrete floor where the toilet normally would go and that was it. No running water, not even a pipe to hang onto to avoid falling into the hole.

It was one of the things I remember about foreign travel; don't drink the water and forget about finding a western toilet.
