A 20-year-old man accused of attacking his uncle with a toilet seat lid wound up in a pile of trouble, according to a recently released St. Lucie County Sheriff's report.
Troutman told a deputy Jan. 9 that his 48-year-old uncle was "mocking" him so he hit him in the head with the toilet seat lid, the report states.

From the article
"Troutman evidently didn't try to brownnose the deputy. He said he hit his uncle in the head with the toilet seat lid because his uncle was "mocking" him. "

Throwing popcorn at him would have been a death sentence

A revised poster of “Attack of the 50 ft. woman” would be ideal.

Not to mention the report states, he "wound up in a pile of trouble."

I’m guessing we have a punny news writer with a “below the waist” sense of humor.

The writer mocked the victimized mockee.

Was the uncle upchucking? How else would you be able to hit him in the head with the toilet lid?

Reminds me of the opening scenes of The Boondock Saints.

My guess is it was disconnected. From the article, it was taken “from the window sill of the bathroom” or at least that is how I interpreted it.

You have some other suggestion as to what he should use for a weapon?

A better headline:
Uncle struck by nephew driving the porcelain bus...
To: dblshot
I saw that too — you know they wanted to say “shipload” or something similar.

I found that with metal the barrel tends to crack with repeated use, wood with the sweet spot taped last longer and sounds so much better; sounds like...baseball.

I had read earlier this morning they had nothing to go on after the toilet theft. Good to hear the investigation got a {potty} break.
