Cow, er.....Toilet Tipping

Youv'e heard of cow tipping right? Where you sneak up on a sleeping cow and knock him or her over? (Why, Why?) If you have never had the opportunity to wade through a field of cow waste products in the middle of the night or don't have a cow handy and want to try your hand at cow tipping click on the link above and you can tip one over virtually.

There is a new more urban past time called toilet tipping. It doesn't take as much skill and finesse as cow tipping. You don't have to worry about pissing the poor toilet off. No running and screaming hysterically between the giggles and hiccups if your first attempt at tipping the toilet fails. Just run and bam! knock the toilets over. Just hope it doesn't splash.....

Serial toilet tipper on the loose

DOTHAN, Ala. - A portable bathroom prankster has plagued building sites in Dothan, tipping over about 50 of the unsecured toilets, police said.

The tipper has struck at construction sites in upscale subdivisions around Dothan, leaving portable toilet vendors to clean up the mess.

"It's not funny at all," said Kelly Powell, co-owner of Portable Toilet Services in Dothan, which has 400 rental toilets and three people to service them. "It's pretty cut and dried: They turn them over and we have to go clean it up. It's very time-consuming.
"Dothan Police Capt. John Givens admitted that he chuckled at the first few tippings, until the pranks became a more disgusting problem.

"There are additional problems if it lands door-down," Given said. "If it leaks out, there is no ventilation. It gets really nasty in there."

Police have stepped up patrols around the building sites, which seems to be helping; only two tippings were reported since last weekend, when the bulk of them occurred. Authorities suspect a teenager or group of kids may be responsible, since a portable toilet can weigh between 220 and 400 pounds.

Powell and Givens estimated each damaged toilet costs $150 in time, energy and repairs, plus the drain on police resources.
