FW: Why Thinking is Handy

Rescue crews in Filer, Idaho, rushed to aid a man who was stuck in a sewage tank at a highway rest stop. The unidentified traveler had used the toilet, and then couldn't find his car keys. He figured he must have flushed them, and climbed into the sewage tank to look for them.
After the rescue, obliging fire crews hosed him off, and "That's when he discovered the keys were still in his back pocket," said Filer Police Chief Cliff Johnson. (Twin Falls Times-News)

...Obliviot: someone who climbs into a sewage tank as a first choice, leaving a search of his pockets for later.
