    Interesting info from a friend...

    CA already has a brisk market in black market hi-flow toilets. If an old house is to be demolished, I've heard, people are right there to buy the toilets.

    Of course, catching black market toilet sellers is often difficult, because when the police arrive, all the fixtures are gone..and they have nothing to go on.

    With apologies...

    ;)

    I once had a toilet with a block that I couldn't snake. I installed a new one and once I moved the old one to the outside, decided to bust it open to see what it was that I couldn't remove.

    It was a reel of Super 8 movie film. I suspected a husband was getting rid of some stag evidence.

    I got.....

    a doorknob, a garage door remote, and recently a nice pair of reading glasses.

    The auger busted up the remote real good. Came back with a part of a circuit board with wires attached.

    The glasses though came back unharmed! Washed them off and returned them to the owner. Don't know if she used them after that.

    Mine...

    I worked at a nursing home for a while, 200+ toilets, mine were mostly combs/brushes, toothbrushes and the occasional set of false teeth. Ewww...

    LOL...

    Lost and Found

    I am Chief Engineer at a college with a resident population of around 1,100 students. We find everything imaginable, but my favorite is cell phones. My experience is that virtually all cell phones retrieved were once owned by girls! If a boy accidentally drops his cell phone in the toilet, he quickly snatches it up while cussing profusely and wipes it off for future use. On the other hand if a girl drops her phone, she flushes it and subsequently reports it as missing so daddy will get her a new one. ;>)

    I was using the bathroom in a plane one time. My glasses were in my shirt pocket. As I bent over to push the flush handle, the glasses fell out and made it through the trap door in the bottom of the toilet bowl. I was not going fishing for that one.
