Rode the Commode
Michael Eugene Johnson, 34, was riding his motorcycle in Custer, S.D., when a portable toilet fell off a truck. Investigators say the toilet flying through the air struck Johnson, knocking him into the path of three cars. He was killed, and his family in Texas is suing Sander Sanitation Service, charging that the toilet was improperly secured to the truck. Sander Sanitation’s lawyer disputes the charge. “I don’t have any information that he was struck by [the toilet],” said attorney Dan Ashmore. “We’re still in the fact-finding process.” Further, he said, “There wasn’t any damage to speak of to the Porta Potti. It’s not humorous, but it’s probably not the best way to go.” (Sioux Falls Argus Leader) ...With that comment on the record, they’re going to lose big when the suit comes to trial.
