Septic tank snares D.M. man

Christmas Eve downright stunk for Robert Schoff of Des Moines, but he was able to laugh about it by Tuesday.
Firefighters had to rescue the 77-year-old when he got stuck in the opening to his septic tank.
He had dug a hole and reached inside to find a clog when he lost his balance and became wedged.
"It wasn't good, I'll tell you what," said Schoff, of 4300 N.E. 27th St. "It was the worst Christmas Eve I've ever had,"
The 5-foot-5-inch, 135-pound Schoff hollered, screamed, and hoped his wife, Toni, would hear his cries for help.
He waited for an hour until she walked by a window and noticed feet in the air.
"I saw these kicking feet and ran out, but couldn't get him out," Toni Schoff said.
She went to the house and called 911, and two Polk County sheriff's deputies arrived to yank her husband out.
A Delaware Township rescue crew took Schoff to the hospital, where he was treated for bruises and a ruptured eardrum.
"How that happened, I don't know," he said. "I thought it was the end of my life. Thank God my wife saw me. I don't think I could have stood staying in there much more. She's my lifesaver."

Sounds like a shitty job. I bet the pay stinks as well.

It was an interesting job Rocco! I seriously cried when I found out what I was going to be doing. It actually taught me alot though! Interesting enough, I loved doing it. I would seriously do it for a job and I tried when I got out of the Air Force...but people don't take women seriously in the field of "plumbing"....so I just gave up.
Btw...pixie doesn't know everything about me

Hmmm... when you worked under kitchen sinks did you show... you know... all bent over and stuff... I mean... I can see why women might not want to be plumbers in that particular case. Kind of exposing... and all. Heh heh heh

Never knew you were a plumber, fystee. Matter of fact, I don't know anything about you. I'm sure that was an interesting job, though.
Anything you want to know, just ask Rocco.bV7Um8ldmkYAipW5
