DID THE GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING RIGHT /

One of our toilets developed a habit of leaking all of the time. I tried to fix it many times. No luck. A plumber came and charged a hundred bucks. It still leaked. Finally, in despair, I hied myself to Lowes and inspected the vast array of multicolored, shiny new comodes, priced from ninety nine bucks to over 1000. I selected a modest 250 dollar model on sale and got an additional 10% off due to my long ago military service. 8% sales tax and seventy five dollars installation and now we have a gleaming white one piece throne. Unbeknownse to me this is a modern toilet which flushes using almost no water. The government's intention in forcing us to put in these water saving devices was to save water and indeed they do.

Much criticesm about toilets that don't flush has proven to be untrue. Mine never fails. It was made in Mexico by American Standard

Oh, new low-flush toilets! They've come a long way, Granddad. So glad that you're putting us all to shame with your nice, regular blogging habit.
