How far would you go to help a friend?

One Norwegian man decided that he was a good enough friend to climb inside a public toilet to retrieve his buddy's cell phone, which fell into the holding tank, according to a BBC report.

Cato Berntsen Larsen, 20, who describes himself as "apparently thin enough to go down but not thin enough to come up again," became stuck after going feet-first into the tank.

Larsen became sick, throwing up in the tight space, after spending an hour standing in human waste.

"It was damn disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there, too," he told he told Norwegian newspaper VG.

Firefighters had to destroy the toilet in order to free the man, who sustained injuries to his upper arms. Larsen said he also believes he was bitten several times during the ordeal.

Oh, and the phone was never found.
