Fans of Coney Island and of really weird and darkly funny incidents will no doubt recall the guy that fell through the floor of the crapper at Ruby’s on the boardwalk in Coney Island. He was originally said to have come out of the basement covered in poo, but it was later said to only be “mostly” dirt. Landlord Joe Sitt helped to pay to get the problem fixed quickly and we can report that Ruby’s reopened yesterday with a new and stronger bathroom floor. The “unfortunate accident” is now a memory.

I was the first person to walk in the bathroom at Ruby’s after the floor had collapsed. Imagine my surprise to find this panicked guy sticking his hand out of the big hole asking me to pull him out! At first I thought I was being set up for a Candid Camera moment, but then I remembered that the floor had been there only a half an hour previously. I thank my lucky stars that it wasn’t me in that predicament. I would’ve never lived it down. And the guy was covered in dirt, not shit. Only in Coney Island!!!
