Man Swims In Sewage For Love


Picture this...you and your wife get out of your car. She takes off her wedding ring to do some cleaning. She drops said wedding ring, and it rolls, and rolls, and falls through a sewage grate.

She starts crying, understandably. The symbol of your seven blissful years together is as lost as Gollum's precious. What do you do?

If you're Ryan Severn, you strip down to your underwear, remove the grate, and dive into other people's urine and feces.

"There's actually fish down there and unidentifiable floaty things," Ryan said. I've got a few guesses on what those UFT's were, and I'm not talking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But after wading through the muck for hours, Ryan came out empty-handed. So he went out and bought a wet-suit, and constructed a MacGyver-esque straining device. Still no luck. Eventually, Ryan called the "professionals", some guys who apparently own a truck with a giant vacuum cleaner on the back, who finally find his wife's wedding ring.

What a guy! You'd hope every man would be so brave and determined, but I doubt many guys would dive in. They're probably too scared of running into Casey Jones, or that terrifying clown from It, or maybe the monster of Cloverfield. Speaking of which, click here for a top-secret image of the Cloverfield beastie. Scary, huh?
