Shane McMahon's Ass

An impatient patient who got trapped in a hospital toilet raised the alarm by raising his voice – belting out a prayerful Christmas chorus.
Tenor George Hudson sang Handel’s Hallelujah after the emergency cord failed to elicit a response, despite three tugs.
The 80-year-old chorister, who was staying at the Kent and Sussex Hospital in Tunbridge Wells for a hip replacement, said: ‘I pulled the red cord and I got no response. When I started to get a bit chilly, I wondered what else I could do.
'I thought, “Oh well, it’s coming up to Christmas,” so I gave them the opening of the Hallelujah chorus.
'The doors then opened very quickly.’
Mr Hudson said he did not blame staff. ‘I feel so sorry for them – they’re working their socks off,’ he said.
But it was not the first time he has used his trained voice to get what he wanted.
‘My wife is terrified when we’re sitting on a train and we’re bedevilled by young ladies going through all their domestic affairs on their mobiles. I’ll say, “If they don’t shut up, I’m going to start singing’’.’
