That’s the headline of a Sydney Morning Herald story today, and for once the headline is the least sensational detail of the report.
Apparently the woman sat down on her boyfriend’s thunderbox one day and never got off — at first because she wouldn’t, and eventually because she couldn’t:
Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple, in Wichita, Kansasn (sic) said it appeared the 35-year-old woman’s skin had grown around the seat.
Seriously, read the story. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s one of those rare beasts that becomes increasingly surreal (and funnier) the deeper you get into it.
There are three great episodes of Lachlan Connor does Canberra on the way to your computer screens as soon as I can get my connection to the YouTube uploader to stop reseting. Fingers crossed for tonight. In the meantime, enjoy this video taken on my digital stills camera of a toilet in the Queanbeyan Royal Hotel. Why were we in Queanbeyan? Two words: Floriade and lack of Canberra accommodation. Why were we in the Royal Hotel? We’d arrived from Melbourne at midnight, our motel was around the corner from the Royal, and we were desperate for a beer.
