BLACKSVILLE, W.Va. - Warning: smoking in the toilet can be dangerous.

A portable toilet exploded after a man who was inside it lit a cigarette.

Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday.

The explosion, which occurred Tuesday in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services.

Why he'd chose to light-up anyway in a port-a-john is beyond me. :roll:
Seems he would need both hands freed up to manage the TP off the roll holder.
