Man learns casino losses not deductible
CHERNIGOV, Ukraine, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Ukrainian emergency responders said it took three hours to free a man whose arm became lodged in the toilet while he was trying to retrieve dropped cash.
The rescuers told ukranews.com the 47-year-old man quickly shoved his arm into the toilet in the city of Chernigov when he dropped $24 into the commode and his arm became stuck up to the elbow in the chute, RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
The emergency workers said they removed floor tiles and uprooted the toilet, but the man remained stuck until they used hydraulic shears and a plumber's torch to completely destroy the throne.
The man was not injured but the responders said he was unsuccessful in trying to retrieve his money.
