Hello, 911? There’s a lolo* guy in the loo!

France’s high-speed trains running between La Rochelle and Bordeaux had to be shut down for two hours the other day. It seems some guy accidentally dropped his cell phone down one of the toilets and got his arm stuck trying to retrieve it. The toilets use powerful suction to function and firefighters had to remove the entire unit before they could cut him loose.

Can you picture the guy coming home that night?

Alors, cherie, je suis ici. (Hi, honey, I’m home.)

Oui, mais pourquoi es-tu deux heures en retard?? (Yeah, but how come you’re two hours late??)

Eh bien, dans le TGV cet après-midi … (Well, on the train this afternoon …)

* lolo = crazy (in Hawaiian)
