Firefighters in Norway have pulled a man from the inside of a toilet after he lowered himself in to retrieve a friend's phone and became stuck in the tank below.
Cato Berntsen Larsen climbed feet-first into the public facility after his friend dropped the phone while urinating.
He was not successful in retrieving the phone.

When he realized he was stuck, he said “...Aw, $H!T!!!”
Cato ?
Probably a bad idea...
He had better be careful. My grandmother’s uncle died when the seat collapsed out from under him in the outhouse he was using and he fell in. I can’t think of too many ways to die that are worse (or more embarrassing).
like the old redneck joke:
Jimmy Bob dropped his jacket down the outhouse
Jimmy Bob reaches in to fish it out
Bobby Ray sez “Jimmy Bob, why you fishing out that jacket, you don’t want to wear it no mo!”
Jimmy Bob replies “No, but it has my sammich in the pocket!”
:)
A life of eating lutefisk will condition a person to endure just about anything. If he’d died in the attempt a committee in Cupertino would name him a martyr and begin the process leading to sainthood.
It’s rare to find a friend so true that they’d climb into a toilet for you.
From this day forward, he will be known locally as ‘the lad who jumped into a full crapper to find somebody else’s cell phone and got bitten by animals.” He doesn’t think before he acts. My sympathies for the rescue workers who had to pull him out. HazMat Suits for all. The whole facility had to be sealed off, scrubbed down and sanitized. The man’s clothing had to be removed, inventoried, bagged and destroyed. He probably needed to be sprayed down with water from a hose. They may send him a bill.
Think Elvis
I may love my friend like a brother, but he can latrine dive after his own phone!
There’s either too much or not enough sunshine up there in Norway. Bound to have an effect on a man.
It's more rare to find someone willing to have such a nut case for a friend.
I think firefighter rescue units deserve all the pay they get for the shit they encounter. (A friend is a firefighter in such a unit but hasn’t encountered this - not yet.)
