John the toilet laid to rest at Utah restaurant
The Associated Press
Updated: 01/31/2009 07:27:57 PM EST
CENTERVILLE, Utah—John, a porcelain commode gunned down in an accidental shooting at a fast food restaurant's bathroom, has died. His age was not immediately known.
The toilet was shattered by a bullet Jan. 12 when a man's gun fell from its holster as he was pulling up his pants, police said. Police do not plan to file criminal charges in connection with the incident.
Christian Martinez, manager of the Carl's Jr. where John was gunned down, held a memorial service Friday at the restaurant. He gave away bottles of John's favorite toilet cleaner, Kaboom Bowl Blaster, to the eatery's first 50 patrons.
A Bountiful flower shop provided a large floral arrangement.
"In all my years, I can say without a doubt that I have never delivered for a toilet," said deliveryman Doug Graham, "but I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever heard. I got a kick out of it."
Remnants of John hit and cut the gun owner's arm, but he was not seriously injured.
Police blamed John's death on the gun and style of holster the man was using.
"He was survived by the men's urinal and wash sink," said Martinez. "He left us way too soon."

I wonder what kind of gun he was carrying that is not drop safe. Or maybe he tried to catch the falling gun?

Scranton woman who swore at toilet settles lawsuit
by The Associated Press Wednesday October 22, 2008, 3:47 PM
SCRANTON -- The city of Scranton is paying a woman $19,000 to settle a lawsuit spawned by her arrest on disorderly conduct charges for swearing at her overflowing toilet.
Scranton is also paying Dawn Herb's legal fees.
Herb was arrested last year after a neighbor, an off-duty police officer, heard her cursing through an open window.
A judge later found her not guilty, saying her language was constitutionally protected free speech.
The ACLU announced the settlement today.Let us never forget the sacrifice of those who have fought for us all.

Best newspaper article ever. Funeral for a toilet. I think that's absolutely hysterical.

And when I was told to unholster before going to the bathroom (in that case for retention) I thought it was goofy.

I have to assume he had a license to carry, but did he have a license to kill porcelain, or does only James Bond have one of those?

It would have really sucked had this happened in a place that hates firearms. This turned out really good for everyone. Cept the shitter.
Some say that his discharge is luminous.
