The other day our one and only toilet had an impenetrable clog. Like you arteries after a bacon burger explosion loaf. The guy that made the call suggested that our old toilet needed replacing. So last night it clogs again. No amount of plunging and profanity will clear it. The thing is filled with water and piss just an inch short of the top of the bowl. So the plumber shows, he is asking about the problem, and as he does so reachs out and flushes the toilet. Uh, yeah. You shoulda seen the look on his face, and mine for that matter.  .Getting a new head with a much bigger valve.

Hahaha that reminds me of years ago when I was a welder. I was working with a very specialized aluminum mig setup. I forget what it's called (Pulsar?) but it had lots of dials and switches to control all parameters of the welding operation. It tended to be very finicky, especially if you tweaked the wrong control. One day I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it wasn't working correctly. A Tommy Chong lookin guy from maintanence came out to futz with it. He took a big crescent wrench and whacked the side of the cabinet, and suddenly everything was working. He shrugged, got back into his golf cart and drove off. No more problems the rest of the day. Earlier this week Vivian called me to ask if I could unclog her downstairs toilet. I went over there and tried everything. Nothing worked. I asked her how it got clogged. She said her daughter accidently flushed her cell phone a few weeks ago. 'But I thought if I put enough Drano down there it would dissolve it'.

That sounds like work earlier this week. One of the plumbers who was on call had to come in during the wee hours of the morning at the beginning of the week. He described it as, "Turds just rolling down the hill!" I'm just glad I don't work for the plumbing shop!Now, I always thought Drano said it wasn't supposed to be used in toilets.  HurtCow, did you have to pull the whole thing to free it? And did you receive any calls or texts while working?
