Breakfast burritos=broken nose.


I haven't posted any peculiar claims in awhile, mostly because the volume has increased dramatically in the past two weeks and most have them have been fairly routine. However, there is one that is totally bizarre, thus enjoyable.

Here's the setup-guy in his 50's is on his way to jury duty and picks up a couple of breakfast burritos for the road. He drives about an hour and on the way, he begins to develop that good ole' fashion feeling deep in his bowels that says, something bad is coming very VERY soon. As soon as he gets to his hotel room, things get ugly. Butt, he believes everything is out of his system so he heads to the court house.

The queasiness lasts throughout the morning and from the sound of it, he utilized each break from session to visit the lavatory for additional "evacuation." He didn't eat anything for lunch and returned to the court room for the afternoon hearings. Around 2pm he couldn't stand it any longer and excused himself. Upon entering the restroom and closing the door behind him, he reached to flip on the lights. The next thing he remembers is waking up in a dark room and feeling his way around the floor to get his bearings. He found the toilet and crawled up to it and then turned on the lights. To his amazement, he discovered he was covered in blood. Apparently as soon as he shut the door he passed out, hitting his face on the wall and ultimately the floor, breaking his nose.

Other jurors found him in the restroom as he was trying to gain his strength and composure and called an ambulance. It is still unclear as to what caused the blackout, but my "expert" opinion is it was not the burritos. Fun story, nonetheless.
