Water Leak Problem

When I was a young man, I enjoyed drinking from the toilet. Moms, however, did not enjoy kissing "Potty Mouth John-John." (That's what she'd call me.) So she leaves the lid down on the toilet.

One night, when we lived in Queens, I figured out how to pick up the lid of the toilet with my flat head. I opened and closed the lid all night long. It was wicked fun. I know Moms enjoyed hearing "openclose openclose openclose" each and every evening. She couldn't lock me out of the bathroom either because that's where my poo box was. Anyhow, I've since outgrown the openclose habit, and just use the toilet to launch myself onto the sink counter to slurp water from the faucet.

Moms got this email from a pal about someone's water bill. There's a video too. I now have new aspirations...read on...

"Jennifer & Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual water usage and, no matter how they tried to conserve water, the high bills kept coming. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything water-related checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then the outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, faucets, toilets etc. -- all to no avail.

One day, Jim was sick and stayed home. While in bed, he kept hearing water running downstairs. He tore himself from his sick bed to investigate and suddenly found the cause of the high water bills.Apparently, the "cause" was occurring all day long when they were at work. Jim taped a segment of the "problem" for posterity. Download the video -- it is quite a douzy!"
