**Lawyer Claims Worker Aided Jailbreak by Unclogging Toilet, Not Assisting Escape**
In a case that has left legal experts scratching their heads and toilet bowl plungers flying off the shelves, a local lawyer has made the audacious claim that a prison worker’s heroic act of unclogging a toilet was, in fact, a noble attempt to save the day—not assist in a daring jailbreak.
The incident unfolded last Tuesday at the Maximum Security Penitentiary of Pottawatomie County, where inmate Chuck “The Plumber” McGee made a break for it after a particularly intense game of “Hide and Seek” with the guards. According to reports, the escape plan hinged on a clogged toilet that had been causing a ruckus in the prison’s East Wing.
“Listen, my client was just trying to do his job,” said defense attorney Barry “The Drain” Johnson, who is known for his unconventional legal strategies. “He was merely unclogging a toilet. If anything, he was providing a public service! Who wants to live in a prison with a backed-up toilet? That’s a crime against humanity!”
Witnesses claim that as the worker, identified as Bob “The Unclogger” Thompson, heroically wielded his plunger, McGee seized the opportunity to slip out the back door. “I thought Bob was just really passionate about plumbing,” said fellow inmate Larry “The Leak” Johnson. “I didn’t know he was helping Chuck escape! I mean, who knew a toilet could be a gateway to freedom?”
In a bizarre twist, the prison’s warden, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “We’re considering installing a ‘Plumber’s Code’ to prevent future incidents. If you see a toilet overflowing, just call maintenance—don’t let it turn into a prison break!”
As the case unfolds, legal experts are left pondering the implications of this unprecedented defense. “If unclogging toilets is now a legal loophole, I might just start a plumbing business myself,” quipped local attorney Sue “The Sink” McAllister. “I can see it now: ‘Call Sue for all your plumbing needs—escape routes included!’”
As for Bob “The Unclogger” Thompson, he remains steadfast in his innocence. “I just wanted to make sure the toilets were working,” he said, clutching his trusty plunger. “I never signed up for a life of crime—just a life of clean pipes!”
Stay tuned as this story develops, and remember: next time you’re in a sticky situation, it might just be time to call a plumber!
