You know times are hard when a person doesn’t let a filthy sewer come between him and his $20 bill.
After chasing his dropped $20 bill, an Oklahoma man became trapped inside a sewer drain for two days.
Jonathan Gatliss and Domanic Erwin were strolling down the street when they heard wails for help. The teenagers dialed 9-1-1, and the unidentified man was rescued from a 15-foot drain. He told police he accidentally dropped the money in a storm drain and tried to recover it. Once down below, he became lost and couldn’t find a way out.

After being rescued from cuddling a sewer pipe, the man was dehydrated, disoriented, and unsure of what day it was.
“He had a bump on his head. He may have hit his head against a wall down there because it’s obviously pretty dark, unless he is next to a storm drain where light could get into,” said responding officer Sgt. John Chelenza.
Chelenza told reporters the man is lucky students responded to his cries for help because a map is necessary to navigate the pipes and anyone could go blocks without ever finding an exit.
Unfortunately, the man never even found the money.
