I ate so much food that poo will overflow the toilet.

Funny as hell, I love kids.

I had the kid stuff two socks down the toilet, then he kept using it for three days. Didnt tell me it was backed up.. Said the toilet scared him.

Kids...

[Oh Haha]

I charge my kids $1 to unclog the toilet.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

That'd be good except where do they get the dollar?

Yea...

At least they flush the damn thing! They have a bathroom pretty much to themselves and I will go in here after they've been gone for two or three days and realize the younger one(6) didn't flush last time he went pee. Does not smell great when he does that.

For a $1 you can come over and unclog the buffet that I had last night.

[Oh Haha]

They have money from chores but yeah it is sort of like paying myself.

It has worked, though.



Tabs--thanks but no thanks!

We are all so lucky to have modern plumbing and flush toilets.

One time coming home from a short trip my grandfather really needed to "make water" as he would say since I was a kid. He rushed inside to the bathroom exclaiming I am gonna overflow the toilet.

Of course with the flush toilet that is impossible but he used a "chamber pot" for most of life. Can you imagine keeping a big ceramic bowl in your bedroom to relieve yourself in. And someone "got" to be the lucky soul to clean that thing out with nothing but hand operated well pump.

I can't imagine using a chamber pot and keeping that in my bedroom all night.

Funny that March 11th was World Plumbing Day and it wasn't celebrated here!

Your bathroom usually was out back across the pasture. I doubt you'd go there instead in the middle of the night around zero degrees? See, that pot isn't smelling so bad now, is it? And if it is, there is always a bedroom window ...

I think in the old days everyone and everything smelled so bad, people were used to it. Nowadays we are swinging the pendulum the other direction. Two showers a day and homes so sterile our immune systems turn upon themselves!
