"Ring Of Fire" is Also Nickname Of Johnny Cash's Toilet

NASHVILLE, TN - New reports out of the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville reveal that the "Ring of Fire" is not only a nickname for the area of intense volcanic and seismic activity in the basin of the Pacific Ocean, but also the nickname of Johnny Cash's toilet following a hearty helping of the museum's hot chicken.

"Some folks think the 'Ring of Fire' is about volcanoes and earthquakes and such, and that's true," said museum curator Dale Ronson. "But it's also about the aftermath of the Man in Black downing a plate of extra-hot fried chicken and a few pitchers of Pabst. That's the day the 'Ring of Fire' was born."

Visitors to the museum can see many artifacts from Cash's life and career, including his tour bus, his custom guitars, and his extensive collection of amphetamines. But the feature that surprises and delights guests the most is the fully functional life-size replica of Cash's home toilet, complete with a motion-activated audio box that plays audio of Cash himself warning visitors not to open the lid.

"I'm just a-gonna use the commode, and it's gonna be a mite warm in there, y'all heed," the recording reportedly says. "That's the 'Ring of Fire' y'all listen so much about."

At publishing time, the museum had announced an exciting new exhibit featuring Cash's personal plunger and scrub brush.
