Thread Name: BS: SHIT!
Subject: RE: BS: SHIT!
Yes, kids as well as grown folks do flush some strange "shit" down the toilets. As a water/wastewater plant operator I have seen a lot of surprises come through the system. Notwithstanding the normal flow of sanitary napkins and those damned plastic tubes that formerly contained tampons, I have seen one whole pair of jeans, (I can't begin to figure out how that ever made it into the system!) a number of shirts, disposable diapers, the occasional "insulin" syringe, many, many candy wrappers, (which conjures up quite an image,) wallets, (no way I can tell you whether they contained any money 'cause I am not about to attempt a rescue!) and most recently, six tennis balls which all appeared at the same time.
