Crazy But Able

Last night I was in a bathroom where the toilet was just sitting out in the middle of the room. It was a fairly large room. I, um, had to go number 2, so I did, and, having experience with this particular toilet’s definition of the word “flush”, I flushed before I wiped. As I wiped, John Edwards jumped out of the closet and ran over to try to catch my, er, used toilet tissue to keep it from falling in the bowl, but he did not succeed. (He was sensible about it and at least was wearing gloves.)

He got a little disappointed, and as I flushed the toilet for the second time, he started lecturing me on the importance of only flushing once when you go number 2. “It’s very important to conserve water to help save the planet,” he sighed. “I always try to minimize the number of flushes I make throughout the day.” My protestations about slow-flushing toilets and the inevitable clog went unheard.

As I left the bathroom, my first thought was “Hah! I have to go twitter this!” I rushed over to the computer and tweeted: “John Edwards just gave me some toilet flushing tips. No, really!”

This morning when I woke up, I was very disappointed to see that my tweet from last night wasn’t in my twitter feed. These service outages are getting ridiculous.
