Tidy Bowl Actor Drowns in Tragic Boat Accident During Crapper Days Celebration

Hundreds of Crapper Days Festival watched in horror as former Tidy Bowl actor, Bartholomew, “Wink,” Tinkle tragically drowned during a performance at Lake Plenticaca last Sunday night. Tinkle was in the midst of shooting shirts at the beachside crowd with a tee shirt cannon, when his boat, the SS Flush, suddenly began to take on water. Thirty seconds later, both Wink Tinkle and the SS Flush were gone.

“What caused the boat to sink remains a mystery,” Enema Falls Police Chief, Ernie Hemingway announced during a Tuesday morning press conference at town hall. “Due to the strong lake currents, it took us awhile to find the body, so unfortunately, the snapping turtles had their way with Mr. Winkle. It’s not a sight for the timid,” Hemingway added. “Mr. Tinkle’s body has been sent to the town morgue where the recently appointed medical examiner, Sam Freemantle, will conduct the autopsy.” Today in Enema Falls will update this story as details become available.
