The Song Challenge: This Challenge! idea comes from our one and only MMario -- which kinda makes me wonder if he's ever actually been in - Port-a-Potty Peril -- Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, June 15 - Police rescued a man who found himself stuck in the depths of a portable toilet at a recreational field Wednesday afternoon, after he lowered himself inside and couldn't get out. The man, not identified by police, told officers he was trying to retrieve his keys. He was trapped there for at least 45 awful minutes, he told police. Children playing basketball heard the man calling for help and told their mother. She called township police. Officers arrived about 2:45 p.m. and found the unfortunate man, still shouting and in the toilet's lower chamber up to his hips. He was naked from the waist down, having taken off his shoes and pants for his unpleasant task. It took emergency response workers until 3:28 p.m. to extract him, police said, adding that they had to destroy a significant part of the facility in the process. Police could not estimate the cost of the damage. One he was free, the man was taken to hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises - and to have the wedged-tight toilet seat removed from around his torso.

Worried Man Blues by Amergin

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.

I went into the potty just to take a pee
I went into the potty just to take a pee
I went into the potty just to take a pee
When I zipped up I found I lost my keys

I dropped my pants to go jumpin in
I dropped my pants to go jumpin in
I dropped my pants to go jumpin in
I dived down my head started to spin

I felt around until I found my keys
I felt around until I found my keys
I felt around until I found my keys
When I got up, I was stuck in the toilet seat

There were some kids spitting the kudu turds
There were some kids spitting the kudu turds
There were some kids spitting the kudu turds
I screamed and hollered til they said they heard

They told their mom that I needed help
They told their mom that I needed help
They told their mom that I needed help
She called the cops when she heard me yelp

I heard the sirens roaring from afar
I heard the sirens roaring from afar
I heard the sirens roaring from afar
Two old women crashed in their police car

They took apart the potty and got me out of here
They took apart the potty and got me out of here
They took apart the potty and got me out of here
When I got home I drank some Asaka beer

I had to burp when I got a little soused
I had to burp when I got a little soused
I had to burp when I got a little soused
The burp caught afire and burned down my house
