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.

Y'all don't tell anyone, but back in my field-working days
I smoked in porta cans in the middle of refineries and chem plants.

I'm REALLY glad I didn't blow any up.
Or get caught.....

That outhouse at the deer camp no longer gets my business
after last time when I discovered spiders the size of pigeons in there.

Lots of them up there?

Lack of electricty and running water creates the need for lots of Outhouses. It is the "Last Frontier" ya know.

If the squirrel ate the paper I usually look for the squirrel.

And if the Porcupine eats the paper....



Blame it on the squirrel.

The porcupine, that's another story. Seems like every dog in the neighborhood has gone straight for the porcupine once time or another. The vet is getting rich from removing porcupine quills and the porcupine is kind of ragged looking but just keeps getting fatter. Porcupine in the outhouse no big deal, at least there are no skunks.

Yikes.
After finding those spiders, I'd stay away as well.
Never know when a spidery leg will wave out to greet you and a thin voice asks if you brought any 'TP' with you.

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns

In Jackass, after being duly vaccinated, Johnny Knoxville (who is hot enough to get a decent job) sits in a full porta-potty that is then turned upside-down.

With him still in it.

Hell, I might just stick around if a spider asked whether I had any TP for his bunghole.

They were not the size of pigeons, they were about 3/4 the size of a pigeon.

(a big fat 3/4 pigeon!)

To give credit where due, Bacon Man always gets dragged in too. We have stories about our wild youth that would curl your hair.

Reminds me of when I was a kid a friend of mine fell in a cesspool. He never was able to cleanse his reputation.

If you would share the pictures, BM would be included on the ping lists.

hmmmm.... maybe BM is a bad choice of shorthand in an outhouse thread....
