Plumbers Are Sharing Weird Things They’ve Unclogged

“‘Only way I see that getting down to this spot is through the toilet.’ Someone had flushed the sock down the toilet. I called my wife to tell her. We have two children, but it would be way out of character for them to take a sock and flush it down the toilet. Now, I have a tendency to sleepwalk, and my wife has told me some pretty funny stories of things I have done and said while sleepwalking. We came to the conclusion that one night after a softball game, I came home, fell asleep with my socks still on, woke up at some point, walked into the bathroom, took off one sock, and flushed it! It’s really the only logical explanation.”
