Reason #1 to Rent

When you rent the landlord is reponsible for fixing things that go wrong. What could go wrong? When you living with Captain Hysteria, everything goes wrong! However, the worse thing that can go wrong is the toilet.

Last night the agent of D.A.D.D.Y. spent several hours attempting to unclog the clog in the toilet. First with the plunger. That didn't work. So next the agent took a trip to the Wonderful World of Wally. At the WWW, he looked for a toilet auger (aka a toilet snake). There was no such beast to be found and thus the agent thought to make a trip to the Depot of Home. Unfortunately, the Depot of Home was closed as it was past 10 PM.

After another hour of the original agent wrangling with the Toilet of Terror, the agent of M.O.M.M.Y. called the OTHER Wonderful World of Wally (as there are 2). They had the beast and thus the agent of D.A.D.D.Y. was off to the OWWW where he purchased said 3 ft beast for $6.

Another 2 hours later, there was progress. The ToT was now draining, every so slowly. With much frustration, the agent resigned himself to bed. It was 1:35AM.

Now we come to this morning where the agent of D.A.D.D.Y. called upon the LandLord.

Quick as a flash (20 minutes), the LL have the Landloard Handy Man (LHM) over. LHM pulled out the big gun (a 6 ft beast) and the even bigger gun (a 9 ft beast). Alas, the big guns failed. Unpeturbed, LHM began to remove ToT from the floor. 30 minutes later, the culprit was found.

Please keep the culprit a Secret.

It took another 30 minutes to crush the culprit into submission and extract it from its new home. As of 10:45 AM, the ToT has been conquered and clean-up has begun.

The agents of M.O.M.M.Y. and D.A.D.D.Y. hope that you had a good morning and that you remember this as REASON #1 to RENT.

FYI : If our little Secret had not been crushed and removed. The cost of the replacement toilet bowl is $150.

PS : Although this is the first time the agents of M.O.M.M.Y. and D.A.D.D.Y. have been confronted with our little Secret, LHM has faced off with him on many occassions.
