Crazy My only regret...

From Yahoo Weird News...

Man freed after 100 hours trapped in a lavatory

Mon Dec 10, 12:39 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - A retired Scottish school teacher was recovering on Monday after spending nearly four days trapped inside a men's toilet with no food or mobile phone.

David Leggat was locked inside the bathroom at a lawn bowling club near the Scottish city of Aberdeen after the door jammed and the handle on the outside fell off.

The 55-year-old kept warm by dipping his feet in hot water but only managed to get about three hours' sleep a night in the freezing temperatures, the local Evening Express newspaper reported.

He was rescued when the cleaner at the club, which is little used in winter, turned up to collect her cleaning equipment.

Leggat said a survival course he had once done had helped him endure his captivity. The cleaning lady said he looked shaken and grey when he emerged. Leggat was stoical.

"At least there was a toilet to use," he said. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar."

Oh my.....

Well, he had water...but it doesn't sound like anything I'd like to try. Good thing the cleaning lady needed her things!

LOL, yah, if he'd been trapped in the bar, he might not have noticed it was a few days til rescue....

Nothing like "force dieting"!

That's definitely scary though. I'm sure it seemed like an eternity.
