What's In America's Drains?Roto-Rooter Compiles Annual List

POSTED: 8:05 am PST December 28, 2005

Clearing out America's clogged drains, you find everything but the kitchen sink.

Roto-Rooter has compiled a list of the strangest items its technicians found in toilets, pipes and trenches over the last year.

Topping the list is a live Civil War cannon shell discovered by a Roto-Rooter crew digging up a Mississippi sewer main. An Army Ordnance disposal team took it away.

There was also a cat, rescued after 24 hours in a North Carolina storm sewer.

Roto-Rooter's No. 3 item was a collection of G.I. Joes, sent down an Illinois toilet by a 3-year-old. When he couldn't get them back, he flushed several Matchbox cars after them.

In all, 15 toys were recovered.

According to a news release, the company also fished out a large stash of drugs that a had been flushed when police arrived at an apartment and a collection of miniature liquor bottles that had been flushed at a business.

The 2004 list included a python, a prosthetic eye, a stray kitten, a diamond ring and an eight-foot clump of human hair.
 
the best here (so far) was an ariel doll. my daughter got it down ok but we ended up pulling the toilet and couldnt get that @@#33$4 doll out! we resorted to heating a long screwdriver red hot and melting it in several pieces. it took about 2hrs to do this.:1062:
 
Bonehead how have you been?

I have septic systems (2).
We do have the tanks pumped out occasionally.
I always ask the technician (the #1 man in the #2 business) if he gets any surprises once in a while.
"No surprise here" he says, "nice pink cake."
I took that to be a good thing in the #2 business.
"But the last customer was surprised when I told him not to flush condoms. He said he didn't use them."

Reminds me of the Door's 'I'm your backdoor man'.

Best wishes for the new year.
Martin
