"He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

'And her reply would be, "Maybe tomorrow,"' [Ness County Sheriff Bryan] Whipple said. 'According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.'"

In two years, that bowl musta been getting rather grungy.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.

"Mr. Whipple's response to the caller: 'Please don't squeeze the Charmin.'"

I can confidently say that is the strangest story I have read so far today.

Just when you think the world can't get any more weird ...

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.
When? At the beginning or the end? Come on, authority guys, we're not putting a shuttle into orbit here. I'll go out on a limb and say that she was probably a few fries short of a happy meal.

It's like that story about the woman who didn't leave the couch, and ended up fusing with it. Crazy stuff.

I'm kinda sad that no one got my Mr. Whipple joke. :(

Where did he use the bathroom?

Hey, I got it!
"Honey, we're out of toilet paper..."
"You sure?"
"Well, you know, I'm like right here..."

I was inspired enough by this story to steal it for my fake memoir.

I haven't seen this story before, but it fits it the general weirdness category we got going here.

I got your Mr Whipple joke, mudpuppie!

I'm pretty sure that'd be a dealbreaker.

Update.

Sheriff Bryan Whipple says he has asked the Ness County attorney to file charges against the boyfriend for mistreatment of a dependent adult.

The sheriff says it appeared the Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom.

Kory McFarren says he did nothing wrong because his girlfriend had a phobia about leaving the bathroom.

...and apparently the boyfriend ain't firing on all four cylinders, either.
Not that that's any real breaking news, there.

thx for the update, pups!
