April fool’s jokes are supposed to be funny. But one 48-year old Maryland man wasn’t laughing when he found his tuchus stuck to a toilet seat after some prankster had smeared super-glue all over it in the bathroom of an Elkton, Maryland Wal-Mart.
The incident left the stuck man screaming for help. And when I say stuck–I mean stuck.
Eventually, a whole fleet of police, firefighters, and paramedics were called to the scene. Talk about embarrassing: “They had to unbolt the entire toilet seat and take it, with the man still attached, to Union Hospital, Cecil County….Doctors eventually managed to remove the seat, leaving the victim with minor injuries to his buttocks.”
Though the authorities were not amused, other Wal-Mart shoppers…were:
To the prankster–whoever you are–you got him good!
But seriously. Not cool.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 7:37amIs this another ‘failed policy” of Big Sis…remember at Walmart if you “see something-say something” Was Big Sis notified of this ‘event’ ?? Shouldn’t we now remove all toilet seats from public rest rooms?
Report Post »Or perhaps the unions could create a new ‘rest room’ union to check your ‘junk’ before and after using the accommodations ? We really need to keep on this guys, this is obviously something this administration is highly qualified to deal with.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 11:45pmI am skeptical as MIKETHETRUCKER and MARINE249 (above) mentioned. Super glue dries so quickly…did this person do it to themselves for attention or to sue Walmart? Seems desperate, but we’ve all heard worse.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 12:46amSuper Glue is used alot as a general ‘term’ for any really hard setting glue. STILL, I always look a public toilet over pretty good and at least wipe it down with TP or something before I sit on it.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 6:40pmI guess the next question is whether or not the toiled was empty. If it was then I would say this was a setup. If not, well, he may not have had the time to check the seat.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 11:16pmI just keep thinking of the embarassment and the pain. It hurts to get stuck together with super glue. I had a tube that would not open and was going to untwist with my teeth, it burst and went into my mouth and actualy glued most of my lips together. It pulled the skin off. I didn’t think that was one bit funny.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 2:19amI pity the poor guy.
My first husband was a political editor for a 52-county television station in central Georgia. He was out in the carport working on something on his car that had broken. He had learned from past experience that, when two pieces of something won’t glue together, a tiny piece of paper between them often works with Super Glue. And, he would hold the little piece of paper with his lips while he applied the glue to the parts.
Well, he had gotten the glue on his fingers; and when he reached to get the paper, his finger stuck to both lips.
I called the local hospital’s ER (that was the “poison control center” and asked what would dissolve Super Glue. Everyone knew my voice, and everybody knew Tim. The voice at the other end of the phone asked, “What has Tim done this time?” (Tim was decidedly accident prone.) I explained what he’d done.
She laughed and called out so that everybody in the ER could hear her, “Y’ALL, TIM HAS SUPER GLUED HIS MOUTH SHUT!!!” There was the sound of hysterical laughter in the background. She finally brought her own laughter under control and told me, “Nail polish remover will dissolve Super Glue.”
Yes, I pity the guy who was stuck to the toilet seat. I doubt the ER had that much nail polish remover on hand!

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 2:27pmAww, did I offend some bloggers again? Sorry. My waste jokes were over the top I guess, even though they were on topic. Admittedly, I linked my comments to Obum and his Muslim brethren. Dang! And maybe I did that ’cause Obum is holding up the money for our troops and they are fighting our enemies in three wars now, and our enemies happen to be Muslim. But, oh well, I lost it and forgot about my own enemies and the Blaze Police. Dang again!
