    I love how they felt they had to add this:
    "The bridge is closed until further notice."

    I take it he was going around closed interstates and thought secondary roads would be a safer choice? Flooding was only happening in that immediate area where they closed the road?

    The 1st thing that came to mind when I read that part of the story was "thank you Mr. Obvious"

    The part of the story they neglected to tell was the length of the operation to remove the seat from his arse.

    The primary colon to the arse is about roughly 9 feet. Then there is another 50 or so to go more or less. If you spilled your guts all over stay where you are. Don't walk, run or move. The less you do the slower you bleed out.

    As far as the bridge. The ground around the bridge was unstable. I don't expect too many people to take that risk into account. It wont be the first time I leaned on a bridge that was too wet a time or two. (And no Im not telling... you do learn...)
