Ok I can’t stop laughing and the fact Jack would jump out of the window and torture the plumber with a snake thing is something we need more of. Is that sick of me?

I was just remembering a time in college, when our toilet started overflowing. I, in a panic, pulled the handle off the toilet and then stood next to the toilet, screaming all my housemates’ names.

Next time, look at the rising tide of crap in the toilet bowl, holler “I’m a FEDERAL AGENT!” in a growly Canadian accent — then watch the crap turn sheepish, back off and give you a crisp salute.

I think I’m the only person in America who does not watch that show.

I have never tried the blue pill. Thanks for that info, Postmodern Sass. I have done all of the things mentioned before though. And yes, first and foremost is to turn off the water to the toilet immediately. Also, with older toilets, you may have to replace the entire system inside and not just the flap. (I’ve done that too.) But I have found that overflowing requires either a plunger or a snake. The main at my mom’s house occasionally gets clogged by tree roots and the only way to solve the problem is to snake the main. How does one discover this? When the toilets start overflowing even though no one has been in the bathroom for hours.

I love how it says “Comment on how Jack Bauer has ruined my life.”

Hee.

Poor Sophia.

Neil: I am woman, hear me roar. Or at least read about how I single-handedly installed a new kitchen faucet, and it only took me all damned weekend, and four trips to Home Depot.

I was inspired to do that by the fact that two weeks earlier, I’d solved my own leaky toilet problem.

Be not too impressed. My toilet had been leaking — that is, water dripping from the tank into the bowl — for six months before I did anything about it.

It starts like this: You say to yourself, did I just hear water drip? And then you reply, nah, it was nothing. But it was something, and the dripping gets progressively worse until you find yourself having to close the bathroom door so you can sleep at night.

That’s when you go to Home Depot, and they instruct you on the Ways of the Blue Pill.

That, and I’m just too cheap to call a plumber.
