Excrement pile saves Chinese woman after balcony fall
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | April 4, 2007

A Chinese woman survived a fall from a sixth-floor balcony after she landed on a large pile of excrement dug up by workers clearing a septic tank, state media said.

The unnamed woman was stretching to hang washing when she lost her balance and fell from the balcony at her home in the southern city of Nanjing yesterday, the semi-official China News Service quoted a local newspaper as saying.

The woman suffered only minor injuries after the 20cm heap cushioned her fall, the agency said.

Workers had been dredging the tank after complaints by local residents, it said.

The woman was quoted as saying “Gee, why couldn’t I just have died instead?”

I think I’d rather just smack the pavement and die.

Our baby fell out of the window
You’s think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of sh....aving cream

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen

But seriously, 20cm is not much.

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold that the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped a load of hot, steaming dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of shit, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung. The cat promptly dug the bird out, killed him and ate him.

Management Lesson: Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy. Not everyone who pulls you out of shit is your friend. And when you’re warm and happy in your pile of shit, keep your mouth shut!

Nah. She can always take a bath.

That pavement won't wash off.

Just goes to show how Sh*tty life is in China.

Reading between the lines, where was all the crap piling up from that clogged up “septic tank” which was probably broken for decades. It takes 25 years for the paperwork authorizing
the repair work to be done in commie land....

"But seriously, 20cm is not much."

It was probably 20 meters. You know how confusing the metric system is to American reporters, who aren't that bright to begin with. It's not likely that her fall was broken by 1 1/2 inches of poo.

20 cm is only about 8 inches.
