I’m SURE there’s a simple, rational explanation for this story:

So, to wrap up:
1.) He was Nude
2.) He was Drunk
3.) He was stuck in the holding tank of the port-a-potty.
4.) But, fortunately, he had his cell phone.
Wow, that had to be embarrassing.
Though we’ll never know, my guess is that he’s a pervy little golden-shower loving voyeur who thought hiding in the tank of the port-a-potty would be a thrill.
Duh. He dropped his cell phone in the holding tank, so he had to go after it.
Some explanations are too obvious.
Yeah, they arrested some dude just up the coast from here who was caught hiding in the crap tank of an outhouse. Lord, am I ever glad that my perversions are fairly mainstream.
That made me chuckle.
I wonder if he’s dyed blue like the fluid is?
They arrested him for *public * drunkeness?
But he wasn’t *in * public when they arrested him. He was in the holding tank of the porta-potty.
It’ll never stand up in court.
Okay, this just made unfunny one of the funniest photos I ever saw in the Army. It was mid-1970s, we were in the field and the CO insisted we dig a slit trench for a lousy two-day deployment of six guys. Soon’s we got the trench dug and the canvas put up, one of my buddies jumped down into the still-unused trench with his camera, the rest of us dropped trou and posed. It was hilarious!
That was then …
Talk about shit-faced drunk!
Crap.
I poo-poo your jokes.
He was probably a little scatter brained.
I hope it wasn’t a phone cam…
Don’t laugh, some guy in Morro Bay, California (in the 80’s) climbed into a Porta-Potty at Montano de Oro State Park for a looki-loo. He was prepared; he’d created a shower curtain for his clothes and was wearing waders. The park rangers arrested him and sent him away for a psych evaluation. Still gives me the creeps thinking about… :eek:
Can anyone tell me if this story was written about in the Straight Dope column? I’ve been trying to track it down for an essay I’m writing about urban legends. I believe this story turned out to be a hoax.
Search for “Gary Moody” - they’re out there. Not this particular story but men in the holding tanks of port-a-potties.
I wonder if there was a stool pigeon.
Gary Moody was the guy in NH. We had one here in Tulsa last year. (Yeah us!) I was going to post this earlier but I thought Art Slave was specifically asking about the Moro Bay guy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and take a few showers.
“Why did you take off all your clothes but keep your cell phone with you?”
“I’d feel naked without my cell phone.”
You know, as unpleasant as those toilets are, the idea of some “Toilet Tom” lurking down there for a peek of my butt just makes it worse.
I think I’ll just hold it till I get home.
