Out of the Blue

Well now I understand more completely why those of you who know better were so taken aback by my stupidity when I recently confessed to having caused a bathroom flood by absent-mindedly flushing a pair of chicken wings. After I cleared the clogged toilet, the other shoe dropped, so to speak, when the basement started flooding with, yes, sewage, as I managed to clog the sewer trap. And while this wasn't actually as horrible as it sounds, it was pretty damned awful. We got someone in to clear the clog, and I got to spend hours dealing with cleaning it up, which, again wasn't as horrible as it sounds, but still pretty damned awful. Needless to say, this serves as a lesson learned... to the extent that when the plumber warned against repeating my mistake I admitted at this point I was going to be wary of flushing toilet tissue.
