Now it's going to be harder than ever to get rid of low-flow toilets.

Probably because the Shell station didn't have this baby:
Flapperless toilet No leaks ever * Maintenance free * No double flushing
(link provided next to article)

As long as we can have our bidets with panavision we will survive..

[Punkin Poo]

It can't handle a simple baggie of coke?????

Then it will NEVER handle my Uncle Ernie after chili night!

[Christobol]

This is why, whenever I'm hanging out stoned at a Shell Station, I always carry a kitten. Then I can feed the smack to the kitten and flush it down the toilet.

I'm thinking that 80-year sentence for tampering with evidence might be a typo.

The hilarity of low-toilets aside:

a man behaving strangely at a convenience store
Ever been in these places? Who could tell?

He bolted into a washroom
My question here is, "HOW?!" Anytime you attempt to risk your life to use the gas station facilities you have to pry the use from a monosyllabic attendant who hands you a key that is spot-welded to a battleship grade metal chain attached to the bumper of a '57 Ford Fairlaine. Ain't no bolting taking place here.

It was sort of like trying to flush a ping-pong ball
Why a District Attorney even knows this speaks volumes about Williamson County. Now me? Yea, ping-pong ball in the commode is a hoot! But I'm not a DA either.

[Reluctant Floridian]

Um...wouldn't opening the baggie have done the trick?

Hey! Dave didn't tell us about his great interview on the Herald site: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/12612394.htm

Wasn't this issue discussed at the World Toilet Summit?

[Bumble]

"...who had only been released from jail on a drug charge the day before,..."

"Twenty years ago that might have flushed, but nowadays with the low-flow flush, it's not going to make it."

Guess he'd been in jail too long to know about low-flow toilets. He should've been reading Dave's columns.

You know, this is something I've always been concerned about - twigs, seeds, low flush toilets - could be a problem! But cocaine???

I'm with R.F. here - open the baggie, stupid!

[queensbee]

it was just dubya, taking his bathroom break.

[crossgirl]

mental note to never try to flush anything in a baggie. kitten yes, baggie, no.

[MOTW]

Gives new meaning to the Happy Toilet Campaign.

[U.O]

... um ... I see in the news item that someone who might be a long-lost relative is the DA there ... please, blogsters, don't hold the fact that I might be related to a lawyer against me, in the final and overall accounting ...

tnx muchly ...

[jon]

I notice that flapperless toilet is $240, and the the retrofit kit it $260!?
Is this a new economic theory?

[Novanglus]

Boy, talk about our dumbing down educational system. In the old days, he would have put it in the sugar bowl.

The REAL question should be...does the Congress's bathrooms have low-flow toilets? Enquiring minds want to know.

[Cap'n Weaselly Mike]

Yeah, but there'd still be residue on the bag and he'd be busted anyway. I suppose they wouldn't be able to prove how much he had and therefore he might get a lesser sentence. Plus then they'd be all those stoned alligators in the sewers to worry about.

[Eleanor]

Stoned Alligators WBAGreatNFARB!!
Starring Ozzy Osbourne!

[everysandwich]

Novanglus, that is an excellent question, and I'm going to ask my congressperson. I'm also going to ask if, in her congressional experience, one flush for number two suffices. This story makes me wonder if anti- drug flushing wasn't the real reason for low-flows. It can't be water savings, as we've all calculated.

"Toilets that flush up"

Flush Up?

!FLUSH UP!?!?!?!?!?!?

I was going to tell this guy that I know a FCDA, but she's already weighed in that he's stupid, so, never mind....

[Eleanor]

Flush Up?

!FLUSH UP!?!?!?!?!?!?

louis - wouldn't that be called a bidet?
*hee, hee*
*swoosh*

I'm thinking that 80-year sentence for tampering with evidence might be a typo.

It's not.
