Man's arm trapped in train toilet
A passenger on a French train had to be rescued by firemen after having his arm sucked down the on-board toilet.
The 26-year-old victim was trapped when he tried to fish out his mobile phone, which had fallen into the toilet bowl, and fell foul of the suction system.
The high-speed TGV train had to stop for two hours while firemen cut through the train's pipework.
The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm.
"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.
The incident happened on Sunday evening, aboard a train travelling in western France between La Rochelle and Paris.

Was he using tape? Chalk?
Back in the day we never used any of that modern cheating sh#t, and none of us ever got our arms stuck in the toilet.

Was it in the Curse of Lono (HST) where the man emerges after a long absence from the airplane toilet with a grim look and a blue-stained arm?

Outhouse 'Peeping Tom' Gets Plea Deal
CONWAY, N.H. -- A man who said he was only looking for his wedding ring after police found him in the sewage tank of an outhouse has pleaded no contest to criminal trespass and will receive psychiatric treatment.
Gary Moody, 45, was arrested in June after a teenage girl noticed him looking at her from the depths of a toilet seat in an outhouse at Lower Falls in the White Mountain National Forest. In court documents, police reported that Moody insisted he was not doing anything wrong and had gone into the sewage tank to retrieve a wedding ring he had accidentally dropped while changing clothes.
Moody pleaded no contest on Oct. 25 and was fined $1,000. He also was ordered to pay $700 in restitution to the U.S. Forest Service and stay off national forest lands for two years. Moody was also sentenced to 30 days in the Carroll County House of Correction, a punishment that would be suspended after two years of good behavior.
"Anyone who was in the ladies' toilet is a victim and females at large are victims and they have heightened scrutiny for fear of what they may find there," Carroll County District Judge Pamela Albee said. "I think Mr. Moody requires treatment."
Police said they examined the sewage and did not find a wedding ring. Moody, Herbert wrote, said he lowered himself directly through the toilet opening to search for the ring and tried to hide out of embarrassment when he heard someone enter the outhouse.
County law enforcement officials said they do not know how long Moody was in the sewage tank but they had to decontaminate him before his formal arrest.
