Local Trivia: Port-a-Body

There was a man found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Durham, CT. on Tuesday.

He had shot himself in the head -- in the head.

That is, in a park Port-a-Potty.

No mention was made in the story of whether special techniques were used in cleaning out the john, or whether the toilet would be used again.

Reports also did not indicate whether a line of impatient mothers-with-three-year-olds had been forming outside the portable commode, or how long they would have been waiting on average when the body was discovered.

And no word on whether the fact of having to use a Port-a-Potty was the final factor driving the man over the edge -- though I think we can all assume "yes."
