PSA: When using the WC on French trains, keep your cell phone in your pocket.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7693386.stm

A passenger on a French train had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet.

The 26-year-old victim was trapped when he tried to fish out his mobile phone, which had fallen into the toilet bowl, and fell foul of the suction system....

The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.


(ring ring) "'Allo? 'Allo?... Awww, crap!" :rofl:

1. Having just taken the TGV to Paris
I can honestly say, there is no way I would stick my hand in one of those things called toilets. :puke:
