Potty Disaster

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Honorable Mention - Victim did not die...

I had hired several laborers to prepare two garden areas for me. They needed some supplies, so I showed them where ice water and the restroom was and left to get the supplies. Upon my return there was an ambulance in front of my home and two police cars. Turns out that my next door neighbor had called 911, telling the operator there was a naked man screaming and running around the next door yard. Turns out the man had to go to the restroom. Rather than using the one I had shown him, he went into the woods behind our home, dropped his trousers and squatted down - right on top of a huge hornets nest. He was released from the hospital after about a week - having learned a very painful and near fatal lesson.

I like it! Too macho to use the designated head, a nature fan.

This is hysterical. I do hope he learned to watch where he squats in the future.
