What do you do when you flush a 'not-flushable' clorox toilet wand down the toilet? My extensive knowledge of plumbing and apparent lack of common sense told me to plunge... plunge to my hearts content.
Luckily Daddy and Aunti came into town the very next day amidst our still unsolved situation and informed us that 'plunging' is most likely, absolutely, not at all the correct thing to do in that instance. Being seasoned home-owners and all around smart individuals they managed to perform some very complicated toilet surgery...
We had to put the toilet to sleep (turn water off), rip it from its very comfortable grouted position, remove some innards including the foriegn obstruction that (due to my effectual plunging) was threatening to enter the underground plumbing cavity... return it to it's afformentioned position, and wake it up (turn water on and give it a good slap).
Amazing!
A good $200 incident had I called my good friends at Colf's Plumbing.
Thanks Aunt Lisa and thanks Dad... especially for also performing toilet surgery on the toilet in the basement where we eventually found the obstruction not in the toilet.... but in the garbage right next to it.... HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fun adventures!
THANKS MUCHY!!!

I LOVED that BYU Hitler clip! Hilarious!!! Aren't Dads handy to have around?! Love your description of the surgery...
Kristi flushed her cell phone down the toilet once and her first thought was to also plunge...luckily I stopped her and was able to retrieve the phone but it's funny how the first instinct is to plunge.
Marie!!!
