The two men who toppled out of the bathroom window of a bus onto Route 2 Saturday night were roughhousing after a long day of beer drinking, investigators said today.

A Colonial Tours charter was returning from a pub crawl of area breweries when the two men tumbled out of a window measuring nearly 4-by-21⁄2 feet, according to a statement from Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early.

"Roughhousing" in the bathroom.

Never heard it called that before.

This sounds like a gay thing.

BTW- Why put a window in a bus bathroom? Are all gays this extroverted??

The bus driver was unaware they fell out and traveled on for several mile? Huh? Were they the only passengers on the bus? Weird story!

Davis’ mother told the Herald that, based on accounts from passengers, she believed faulty equipment on the bus was to blame for the accident.

Somebody talked to a lawyer!

I'd say two Mark I Cranial units malfunctioned. Or it could be faulty upbringing. That would make for an interesting counter-suit.

“A Colonial Tours charter was returning from a pub crawl of area breweries”

The property and casualty insurers of Colonial Tours should massively, and deservedly raise their premiums. Any commercial outfit offering a charter bus for a “pub crawl” needs to have their heads examined.

It’s like being asked if you want to transport a bunch of English soccer fans. The fact that you’re the designated driver would not change the many and definite risks you’ll have by the end of the trip.

I never saw a bus with a bathroom window. 4 x 2 1/2 feet? Why? Exhibitionist bus?

These mo-rons had been drinking since 10:30AM. Their fellow passengers were zoned out too...never heard them fall out of the bus. Lots of choice comments at the original article——>>>>

Please define “Rough Housing” in the bathroom...was this a Rainbow Bus?

Yes. The Honorable Mention remains in the gene pool — as far as we know.

You generally don’t expect to hear “Man overboard!” on a bus...

All depends on where he got scraped when he fell off the bus
