DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot was sued by a shopper from a Kentucky store who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.

"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The Daily Camera, of Boulder. "They just let me rot."

The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the store in Louisville, Colorado, on the day before Halloween 2003.

A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk "believed it to be a hoax," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes.

Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and Dougherty, "frightened and humiliated," passed out as they wheeled him out of the store, court papers said. The toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.

"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."

Maybe he'll get a couple thousand for the nuisance suit, but it is funny. That'll teach him for not using the ass gaskets.

I wonder if he ever got to wipe. Not a very satisfying dump. No offence.

He was recovering from bypass surgery. Maybe you can race him for the $$$$ once he collects?

Your "son" called me and asked if I could act as a stand by free throw shooter, as needed. I am perfecting those madd skillz right now so any races will have to wait.

If this were IRL, the high five you'd be seeking for that would be left hanging.

Ummm, IRL a guy like you wouldn't be admitted to the places where guys like Spanky and I hang out.

No offense.

BTW, Kathleen Sullivan, Dean of Stanford Law School and leading candidate for a Supreme Court seat under a Democratic president, failed the California Bar last week (well, in July, but you know). See the front page of the wall street journal.

Though I feel kinda bad for her, that is really funny. She's an academic. Probably froze up on the "practical" section of the exam.

Confidential to the SJC: ignorance of California law might be considered a plus amongst your constituencies, FWIW.
