Norway man rescued after climbing into public toilet

Source: BBC

Firefighters in Norway have pulled a man from the inside of a toilet after he lowered himself in to retrieve a friend's phone and became stuck in the tank below.

Cato Berntsen Larsen climbed feet-first into the public facility after his friend dropped the phone while urinating.

Mr Berntsen Larsen said he had volunteered to enter the tank, which is not connected to the sewer and which is only emptied once a season.

The 20-year-old became sick as he stood thigh-deep in its contents, and had to spend an hour completely enclosed in the small area.

They're probably all cousins. He is now famous from Oslo all the way up to Finnmark. For the rest of his life, and the Scandinavians live a long time, Mr. Bernsten Larsen will be known as the dummy who got stuck in a toilet.

Who would even want that phone back?
