GOLFER HIT BY PORTA-POTTY

A golfer claims he was hit and seriously injured by a porta-potty that was being hauled by a forklift driver while he played at a course in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, last summer. It was August 11 when Brian Berg was watching his 6-iron shot from the fairway to the front of the seventh hole green at Fox Run Golf Links. A course employee had taken the forklift off the golf cart path and was driving “blind” with a portable toilet on the front of the forklift, obscuring his view. The forklift driver hit Berg from behind with the porta-potty. After he was knocked to the ground by the initial blow, the potty did not stop, hitting him in the face and knocking him unconscious. It injured his shoulder, cut his chin, cracked a rib, bruised a bicep and caused “a large, deep bruise to his leg.” Berg is seeking more than $50,000 in damages for negligence.
* Mashie!
* Now Brian has a handicap.
* I guess that put him below the hole.
* Sounds like he was seeing birdies.
* That’s some fancy golf club, where they actually bring the bathroom to you.
* I like a golf story in January. It helps break up the winter.
* He’s seeking 50 grand for that? Wait, that’s a reasonable amount. When did his lawyer get out of law school? Last week?
* Normally, you’d get 50 grand just for the emotional pain every time you saw a porta-potty again.
* Hello? It’s called “back pain” you idiots.
