Just so you don't think my life is so perfect

They are using a power washer to clean out the sewers on our street today.

Q: How do I know this?
A: Our toilet exploded.

No photos. No news at eleven.

The bright side: I wasn't enthroned when it happened.

Oh, GOD! Now THAT'S an essay.

Was it a really messy situation???

Thankfully, the last person who used the toilet had flushed. The smell was god awful -- the liquid was virtually clear.

What's the science behind that?

The DPW was power washing out the sewers and the pressure came up into our house.

Oh, that's something even I can understand. But can't they do something to prevent that? It doesn't make sense to explode everyone's toilets.
