Well, you know what coffee does to you in the morning, right after breakfast. It's time to go, um, read for a little while.
This natural and not-at-all embarrassing physical process happened to Washington Capitals winger Joel Ward at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Ward was having breakfast with his teammates, and left to find a stall. But the stall wouldn't let him out. The lock was stuck, and Ward was too.

"I tried to come out and I flipped the switch a little bit but it wasn't really coming undone," Ward told the Washington Post.
Naturally, his teammates thought this was hilarious. The came in to investigate, as did hotel staff.
