BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese woman survived a plunge from a sixth-floor balcony thanks to a convenient pile of excrement which broke her fall, local media said.


The accident happened when the woman was hanging out laundry on Monday in Nanjing, capital of the eastern province of Jiangsu, the Kuaibao tabloid said on its Web site (www.kuaibao.net).


"Workers happened to be emptying the building's septic tank, which had not been tended for a long time and had regularly blocked sewage pipes," the newspaper said.


"She probably stretched out too far and fell ... right on to a 20 cm-thick heap of excrement."


The woman suffered only slight injuries, the newspaper said.


In March, a six-year-old girl broke only her left leg when she fell six floors on to a pile of snow in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang.

gives new meaning to the term "oh shit!"

You never know all the meanings of any expression...But I wonder how a pile that was only 20 cm thick, if I got it right, could reduce her falling so much to save her life! Perhaps it was 20 meters...mmm?

LOL!!! A really cool new!

Reminds me of the time I was in Austrailia, at the "State Fair" ( what ever it is called) Queen Elisabeth was there to dedicate the "Sydney Opera House. I was on R&R, I jumped off a fence right into a pile of horse shit, only thing I could think to say was: Shit!LOL

Have you heard the old saying? Do you know what to do when the shit hits the fan? Turn off the fan.
