STUCK ON TOILET

THE MAN OF THE HOUSE TOLD THE BABYSITTER NOT TO SIT ON THEIR
TOILET WHICH HAD JUST BEEN PAINTED. SHE FORGOT, SAT ON THE
TOILET, AND GOT STUCK. SHE CALLED FOR A DOCTOR, WHO CAME AND
SLIPPED ON THE FLOOR AND WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. WHEN THE
AMBULANCE ARRIVED, THEY HAD TO UNBOLT THE TOILET. THE GIRL
WAS THEN RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AND SHE HAD TO BE CUT AWAY
FROM THE TOILET SEAT.
LATER SHE SUED THE HOMEOWNER AND HAD TO SHOW HER SCARS TO THE
JUDGE TO PROVE THAT THIS REALLY HAPPENED. (IT REALLY DID.)
