Fag blows man off bog

RICH PICKINGS FOR the Schadenfreude minded at the China Post this morning. The paper reports that John Jenkins will sue a coal company after he lit a cigarette in a mobile toilet and suffered burns after being blown off the toilet seat and out of the door.
Jenkins alleges that methane gas was leaking from a pipe underneath the pedestal.
Oddly enough, Mr Jenkins is a methane power plant operator with North West Fuels Development. He wants $10 million damages from Eastern Associated Coal and Chisler Inc, the paper said.
His face, neck, torso and legs were badly burned. Ouch!
