Exploding toilets injure 2 federal workers

Washington is known for explosive situations. Just this week Congress pulled itself back from the verge of a government shutdown — the third in less than a year.

But the explosive situation in the General Services Administration headquarters on Monday was a doozy, even for the nation’s capital. Toilets literally blew up into tiny shards of porcelain, seriously injuring two federal employees. One was taken to the hospital.

The toilet explosions became irresistible Web fodder for snickering and bad potty humor. And just as irresistible for many was the symbolism it provided for those highly frustrated with Washington these days.

The rare accident, which started in a water tank on the roof of the agency’s capital region headquarters Monday morning, quickly became representative of Washington’s ills — from the bureaucratic response to the venom it released against the government and its employees.

“How many $1,200 toilet seats has the government bought, and here we have a toilet going boom!” mused Chuck White, vice president of technical and code services for the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association. “I’m sure people think this is just one more example of our government in action.”

So, so awesome. That looks like it might have hurt a little bit. I like how the guy kinda lays there like he's hurt. Ain't nothing hurt but his pride, and I'd expect he's embarrassed and doesn't want to eat shit for dropping that chick, so it's easier to play the injury card.
