OK, you've gone and pulled my stopper. So, here's an anecdote, since
I'm feeling gregarious. Should have signed, "Richard the Lubricated." ;-)

Anyways, here's the thing.

In this shop, there are two toilets, back-to-back. Evidently, they share
a waste drain out to the plug thingie (whatever you call that access
port), so when the clog is between the "Y" and the sewer, when you plunge
one toilet, all it does is make the water in the other toilet splash up
and down. So, we had to call a plumber. Both of the toilets were full
of water, so as soon as the plumber opened the plug, water (and whatever)
would come out in abundance. I got volunteered to squat next to the
plumber, with a shop-vac, to vacuum up the water that got released when
he unscrewed the plug.

When he got the plug open far enough, it started producing ***. I said
something like, "Ooh, feh, this is disgusting!" and the plumber looks
me in the eye, points at this *** that was extruding from this opening,
and said, "This is my bread and butter!"

I threw up.

Thanks,
Rich
