A visitor to a popular California campground accidentally dropped his sunglasses into a camp toilet and tried to retrieve them. It ended exactly the way you think it ended: Emergency crews had to fish him out, reports CBS Fresno. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office says the visitor to Camp Edison in the Sierra Nevada foothills tumbled into the vault toilet and required a "confined space rescue."

"Via a Spanish translator, they advised that the subject had fallen into the chemical storage tank," says the sheriff's office, per the Guardian. Luckily, first responders got him out in about 15 minutes, and he was none the worse for wear, though Cal Fire did hose him down. And did he get the sunglasses? Unclear.
