AMERICAN TOURIST FALLS INTO MT. VESUVIUS

An American tourist is facing charges in Italy after falling into the crater of Mount Vesuvius while taking a selfie. The 23-year-old man, along with three relatives, had chosen not to pay for tickets to walk up the official safe route on Saturday. Instead the group had bypassed a turnstile and took a dangerous unauthorized route to the top of the volcano that looms over the Italian city of Naples. As they reached the summit the tourist took out his phone to snap a selfie. He dropped it, and the phone fell down into the volcano’s crater. Trying to retrieve it, the man himself fell into the volcano, miraculously only sustaining minor cuts and bruises on his arms and back. Rescue workers rappelled into the crater to pull the man out. The group was charged with trespassing.
* “Hey! Human sacrifices are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only!”
* So the selfie didn’t work out, but did anybody get a cool shot of him falling into a volcano?
* He should have tried the old, “Hey, who put that volcano there?” excuse.
* At least he got to play a good game of “The Floor is Lava” while he was waiting to be rescued.
* The inside of a volcano actually looks a lot like the outside of a volcano. They shouldn’t make you pay to look unless it’s erupting.
