On April 30th, a man from Salisbury, Maryland, was
glued to a Wal-Mart toilet seat. Wal-Mart is investigating; but perhaps the cops should be as well. Because on April 1, a Fruitland, Maryland, man was
glued to a Denny's toilet seat -- also in Salisbury. In both cases, the toilet seat had to be removed so the person could be taken to the hospital to get it off. Police said that "the two gluings do not appear to be related, but that police are not ruling out a copycat."
If you live in Salisbury, the best plan may be to start checking the seat before you sit. But, as Lieutenant Cheryl Rantz of the Salisbury Police Department says, it's not always so easy to remember: "When you are about to break down you may not give it thought like you should."
In fact, poopers across the world should be careful where they sit. Remember that in October, 2003, Colorado's Bob Dougherty was glued to a Home Depot toilet seat. He is suing. And on April 13, a three-year-old was glued to the toilet seat in a handicapped stall at a local bowling alley.
What fun could there be in putting glue on a toilet seat? You don't see the next person's pain and suffering (if you like seeing that sort of thing). It's just blind, random cruelty. But since cameras can't be in the bathrooms, is there any way we can catch these toilet seat terrorists?
