Here I Sit... ...all broken hearted. Tried to sit... ...up. OK, I know it doesn't scan, but the punchline is that he couldn't. Sit up, that is. He was glued to the seat. I hate when that happens (though I think that I would have noticed something amiss long before I got stuck, but perhaps his derrière is less sensitive than mine). He's suing Home Depot, though it's not at all clear that they're at fault. But they have deep pockets, with big bucks. Isn't that the American Way? As anyone familiar with the site might imagine, Free Republic is having a great time with this. Prescient advice, I suspect: If he thinks he was humiliated then, wait till HD's lawyers get through with him.

The only thing I can think of is that he must have been really hurting to go. Which would explain that he was actually using a public bathroom in the first place. You know, one of those situations where you just run in and open the bomb bay doors for cluster munition attack. Could you imagine that walk of shame out of the bathroom though? Fire dept. shows up, people curiously gather around the bathrooms to see what is going on and grown man emerges with his pants around his ankles and toilet seat stuck to his ass. Golden, just golden. If it were me I'd make the best of the situation and come out of the bathroom pretending like I was riding a pony slapping my ass singing Aerosmith "Back in the saddle again" Posted by Josh Reiter at November 3, 2005 06:11 AMYou would think he could just ask Home Depot to bring him a can of adhesive remover off the shelf and then let him be for about a half hour. Maybe a foam brush to help apply it. Posted by Leland at November 3, 2005 11:09 AMAnd he was only stuck there for 15 minutes? From the headline I figured he'd been there for hours. Posted by Annoying Old Guy at November 3, 2005 01:23 PMIs this a man thing? I don't know of any woman who will sit on a public toilet seat (truly public; I know some who are nuts enough to sit on one in the office) without covering it with toilet paper or a seat cover, or at least wiping it off. Eewwwwwww. Posted by Barbara Skolaut at November 3, 2005 04:17 PMI'm more concerned over the slobs that don't even wash their hands after shaking their Johnson twice. That's why one is smart to open the john doors with a paper towel... How rude man can be! :P Posted by GB at November 4, 2005 07:37 AMAw toilet seats aren't that bad. There are more germs on the mouse and keyboard your touching right now then the average toilet seat. When it comes straight from the body Urine is a biologically inert waste. When doctors are performing kidney transplant surgery they clamp off the blood vessels to the kidney to prevent bleeding of course. However, they snip the Ureter clean away and let the urine fall straight into the peritoneal where it is just reabsorbed by the body and eliminated again. Again, if you've ever picked your teeth or rubbed your eye and then shook someone's hand then you've passed more of your germs onto someone then a person who has some urine on their hand. Reason being our hands and faces are more exposed to the environment around us then the naughty parts that are hidden away in our pants.
