Title: Better check your toilet...
Post by: TheCommandTent on August 17, 2012, 09:49:01 PM
QuoteYour toilet could be a ticking time bomb. A problem with flushing mechanisms that causes toilets to explode has prompted a recall of 2.3 million toilets in the U.S. and 9,400 in Canada.

There have already been 304 complaints of exploding devices bursting, causing 14 "impact or laceration injuries," according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

"Impact or laceration injuries," talk about having a bad day.

Other than the obvious thoughts on this disaster in the making, what does this say in regards to US versus Canadian use of toilets?

In his seminal work Hard Ticket to Hawaii, writer/director/producer/boobie wrangler Andy Sidaris predicted just such a doomsday scenario.  The real culprit behind the exploding toilet phenomenon is the deadly radioactive toilet snake.

Remember kids, multibarrel rocket launchers aren't just good for toilet snakes, they're also good for inflatable sex dolls used by skateboarding hitmen as clever distractions.

There are more Flushmate equipped toilets and Chinese drywall, at play in the the US vs. Canada.  The Casa de 40 is rife with Flushmater 400 series.  I just checked.

My toilet is my domain, and all of my domains were made in the USA. Thank God.

That's just what the radioactive toilet snake wants you to think.
