Outhouse Explosion Burns Smoker The Dominion Post
A man was hospitalized for burns after he lit a cigarette in a portable outhouse and the outhouse exploded.
MECCA said that at about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday, Monongalia Emergency Medical Services responded to a burn call at the Clay-Battelle Community Health Center on the Mason-Dixon Highway in Blacksville.
The spokesperson said a man, whose identity is not being released, was inside a portable outhouse when the explosion occurred.
The methane gases inside the outhouse didn't "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, the spokesperson said.
A Clay-Battelle Health Center spokeswoman said the man drove himself to the clinic.
Mon EMS workers said the man was not severely hurt but they could not comment specifically on his injuries or release his name due to privacy policies.
Mon EMS transported the man from the health center to Ruby Memorial Hospital.
doncha hate it when that happens?
Wonder if the outhouse had a crescent on it? ;)
LOL! I was thing Natural Gas had caused it.

Fire in the hole!
The outhouse must have been designed by Mayor Bloomberg as part of his zero-tolerance program in NYC.
Yeah, both holes. (ouch!)
Something smells here....
Never mind.
(OUCH!!)
ROTF!!! Or maybe it was CAIR. LOL. You know how they feel about outhouses!
After all that poor slob in PA let it be known that he drinks 6 beers in a day and the idiots revoked his license even though he had never gotten a ticket.
How much methane was built up in there? Doesn't anyone know they are supposed to empty those things from time to time?
ewwwwww......
In these days of global news, I hate it when it takes me visiting an advertiser of a website just to figure out what City/State/Country they are talking about.
After all, how many outhouses are still left in the USA? I imagine there's not all that many left.
Alert the "puff list". Those people need to be warned. ;9)
Must have left a mark.
As long as there are Kerry supporters, there'll be evidence deserving an outhouse.
I thought we covered this?
It was a 'portable' outhouse.
They are big business. (no sh#t)
Portable outhouses can be found at fairs, parades, construction sites, etc. Anywhere they might need a temporary toilet.
Well, don't get me started on smoking :) I've spent too much time visiting loved ones who smoke in hospitals and/or caring for them. That said, if someone wants to go to Heck in a handbasket, my attitude is feel free. As long as he/she doesn't expect me to subsidize their health care costs.
Hold muh ass.
