G.I. Joes Sent Down Toilet, Getaway Cars Followed

CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) — 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 Ordinance disposal team took it away.

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

The third item on the list is 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.

My friend used to do matience for an apratment complex the worst he seen was someone has tried to flush 2 hamhock bones down the toilet.  Also things like chicken bones, a belt, a pair of 44wiast pants, and a handgrenade jacket

A local bar I used to frequent had their sewer pipes stop up one night because of a turtle. It was still alive when they took it out and quite healthy I might add. Must have been all that beer shit.

When I have to pull a toilet at work, its usually for hypodermic needles. But the last one was a plastic picnic knife.

Anybody ever find rings down there?  Always hear stories about people losing rings down the drain ((like my wife when she went to Korea, lost the cheapo I gave just for that reason).
