BERLIN -- When a 58-year-old motorist nipped into a German highway rest stop public toilet to answer the call of nature Friday morning, he had no idea how cruel nature could be.
Off highway A6 near the town of Lichtenau in Bavaria, which has been experiencing cold weather and snow over the past few days, the man found himself trapped in the toilet stall after the lock froze while he was inside.
Unable to pry the door open, the man finally was able to explain his predicament when someone occupied the stall next to him and get them to call police on a cell phone.
After about an hour in the chilly cell, police were able to get the door open and free the man, whom they described about "thoroughly frozen through, but in good general health.
Sheisse!! And isn't "thoroughly frozen through" a little bit redundant? ;-)
I have driven through the car wash only to find my locks frozen afterwards. And I have frozen the button that opens the door, and I have frozen the seal of the door to the truck.
You bet your frozen fee-fie-foe it was.
Yep, but I thought it was better to crawl under???
I'm glad I never had to pay to go potty...Right???
