[warped one]

Read this in the paper today and thought it was quite funny.

I think some of the comments are quite good too.

PC John Smith from Humberside Police got a big surprise when he went to the toilet after visiting Al Madinas Kebab house the night before.

Thing is it looks like a medium size one.

I wonder how far a large one would go

OL I wish it was one of my pranks, that would be ace. We are just currently trying to fire blocks of wood over the workshop into the yard behind with a sledge hammer and breeze block.

Although to be fair, after actually looking at that bottle it does look to me like an acetylene one, with the shoulder on it up where the valve should of been.

Something funny about that bottle. The neck threads are showing which means the valve has been un-screwed. If that were done under pressure then I doubt the person holding the spanner would still be alive - or even identifiable!

I think acetylene are normally red/maroon? That looks very like the bog standard ones we get from BOC, nitrogen or similar.

At my old school, a medium sized oxygen bottle got knocked over, the valve gear broke off and it shot through a wooden cabinet, breeze block wall and normal brick wall out into a field.
