Urine trouble – UPDATE

We want to update you on one of the stories that ran last weekend... the cautionary tale of where you should NOT "go."

iReporter Eric Bower emailed to report the latest on the story behind a video he originally uploaded to us in April. Security camera footage of a man caught in the act of urinating into a car's gas tank. Eric's wife's car's gas tank. Well, the young man has had his day in court.

Eric sent us a "clipping" from his local newspaper that said the 19 year old was ordered to pay over $700 in fines and another $515 to the Bowers to cover the cost of "flushing out the gas tank."

Does anyone else find it funny that the process in which urine is removed from a gas tank is called "flushing?"

The paper went on to quote the urinator as he left the courtroom with his mother, "I made a terrible mistake and I am ashamed of myself." Mom wrote the checks, by the way.

If you are still asking yourself, "But WHY did he pee into a gas tank?" According to the paper his blood alcohol level was "more than twice the legal limit for drivers." So that MAY have had something to do with it.

I know there is a moral to this story somewhere... If you can think of one feel free to leave it in the comments.

Now then... this coming weekend's show is just starting to come together. Amongst all the other goodness we have planned, we're going to take you big wave tow-surfing (REALLY BIG), introduce you to a headless/homeless robot, and show you why it is NOT a good idea to lead police on a high speed pursuit while naked. I can also safely say that this show will be urine-free. At least it is for now. Things could change.
