Where does it go?

The other night I had a Socrates moment while working out. No it did not happen because a weight hit me in the head, it was before that! Have you ever noticed how many of societies things we take for granted. For example how about the toilet. If it was not for my brothers adventure overseas and all of the pictures he brought back of his bride to be (whom I am starting to believe is a cardboard cut out only because I know he does not know how to use photo shop and all I ever see of her is pictures), this has given me such a different point of view on toilets. If you get a chance, Google images of "Chinese toilet" and you will see what I mean. (By the way that is not a bathtub.) You see with a toilet on the floor it would be quite easy for it to overflow and cause quite a mess.

Now let's Americanize this to the standard porcelain king. Whenever someone here causes it to overflow no one will take ownership of it. Generally they leave the mess for the next person to clean up (sorry Becky it wasn't me it was Haven). Knowing this we now know why a toilet that is floating above our heads in a space station broke down with the last person using it not coming forward. So for an easy fix we send a billion dollar spacecraft up with a new million dollar toilet. Glad I'm not paying for that bill . . . oh right I am, stupid taxes. Out of this whole equation we have taken for granted the plunger. Yes a simple rubber tool that does it all. Fixing toilets and causing raw sewage to back-up into the neighbors apartment downstairs (sorry Dad I still chuckle on that one every time, especially the part when he knocked on our door). So an easy modern day convenience is taken for granted at times along with a funny looking rubber object on a stick (plumbers have the best sense of humor).

Next time you look around at all of our modern day conveniences remember how lucky we are to have these, cause trust me if you think its hard to find out who backed up the toilet, try finding someone to dig a hole and move the outhouse. I guess this all proves one major point, I need to find something better to think about while working out.

On a fun note a cute blonde has been spotted behind the wheel of a slate gray Nissan Altima. Yes that is Becky and yes that is her new car. If you see her, can you do me a favor . . . ask her if I can have a chance to drive it.

I am back at hockey after having 3 weeks off, it was great to be back on the ice. The Komets won but the Grave Diggers lost. After it was all said and done I was happy to be back hanging out with the gang.

Becky is back in school and I am taking the summer off to get projects around the house done. If you come by and see my spotted law, it is because I am tired of the weeds. Don't worry I plan to have the greenest yard on the block by the end of the month. Well must be off, I hope everyone is doing good.
