The greatest reason ever not to smoke.

Warning, No Smoking near the Toilet

Now we have the one man, who, can without a doubt, deliver the most effective anti-smoking message ever.

A man who says he was severely burned when a portable toilet exploded after he sat down and lit a cigarette

First time in my life that I learn about the existence of "portable toilets". Is it something you can carry in your pocket?

Aka Port-a-potties or Port-a-Johns.

Imagine a cramped plastic hut with just enough room to turn around and sit down after closing the door. They have a toilet in them that doesn't exactly flush but just contains well, everything in a pool of ... blue stuff that we don't know what it is, perhaps it fell from space, but you probably don't want to mess with it. And they empty them every so often.

They have them at sporting events, temporary outdoor events etc that either don't have enough indoor toilets or don't have them at all.

Possibly they are similar to protable holes, but with seatcushions. The perfect traveling companion for the adventurer in the 'Realism or Bust' campaign. Not only is it a handy lavatory, but also a useful no-stench fertilizer container.

I pity the fool that forgot the basics of his high school chemisty class and then goes suing an innocent company.

Also, on the subject of burning methane: A port-a-john exploded outside my school several years ago. It was used for relief during summer sporting events. The Feds came out the school and dertermined that it was a kid with a cherry bomb. My guess at the reason why the feds came to visit us is because I live in Ottawa Hills, Ohio. We're the school that won three blue ribbons for acedemic excellence and 10% of my class might have ADD (atention defficit disorder). The people with ADD are all rich snoobs. I, of course, am not one of them.

Strange, as I recall Adam and Jamie proved that it would take more than a single cig to light one of them off...

'Course, whoever says they are scientists, needs to have his head checked

Greatest reason not to smoke..... ME!! *coughs of lung* "Hey, whats... cant... breath..."

Portable toilets don't use pipelines to get rid of the waste. Plus, any gas pipes on a construction site by law have to be able to withstand lots of beatings. I should know, since I use these things daily while on the job. Freak accident, nothing more.

What this guy was doing at the site in the first place I don't know. If he was an employee, his contract contains a clause wherein he recognizes the inherent dangers of working in such an environment i.e. can get covered by workman's comp but can't sue. Otherwise, he had no reason being there.

Either way, no basis for a lawsuit. Certainly not worth $10 million in damages.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Who the heck smokes while in the john anyway?

 

[Xath]

Anyone notice that it was a methane gas leak that caused the toilet to explode, and this guy is a methane power plant operator?
