I remember when Chinese and Japanese shitters were holes in the tile floors of private bathrooms and public restrooms. I think that’s where the term ‘shit hole’ must have come from. If you dropped anything down one of those holes you wouldn’t think of retrieving it unless your life depended on it. Apparently not so with the modern toilet.
From ABC News:
Chinese rescuers have freed a man after he got his arm stuck in a toilet pipe in an attempt to retrieve his mobile phone.
Emergency workers in eastern China say they found the man crouched over the toilet with his entire arm submerged in the drain.
They broke the porcelain bowl with crowbars and hammered the pipes, taking care not to injure the man.
They also managed to find the man's phone, but it no longer works.
It is not clear how the man managed to call for help.
