The Latrine

You do understand that this is the appropriate thread to allaborate further...

I'm not talking from experience so I can't allaborate further. I just know you're not supposed to flush them like you're not supposed to flush tissues.

I don't live in the sewer, I'm going to flush whatever the hell goes down.

AMEN

EDIT: Though, in fairness, if you have a septic tank you probably shouldn't flush them.  And, if you have a septic tank, you should probably move out of the sticks.

You only have to google "flushable wipes" to see stories from all over your country and mine talking about how the sewers are getting jammed up with so called flushable wipes which may disappear out of your bowel OK, but then gum everything up further downstream and cost you, directly or indirectly, a bunch of money to clear.

Edit: saw the typo after submitting the post, went back to fix it, and decided it was too beautiful to destroy.

I'm totally with you on your hippie agenda most of the time, but don't tell me I can't flush my derriere wipes!

My house has a septic tank, so when I'm shitting at home I use proper flushing methods.

Which is good.  Nothing happy happens when a septic tank fails.

A septic tank starting leaking at the camp I used to work at. One of the ranger's dogs unknowingly leaped right into the resulting quagmire.

I can attest to this.

Twice this year, I've gone down to my building's basement and discovered a floor full of turds, because the kid with Asperger's who lives above us keeps flushing flushable wipes.  (That's what the cesspool guy keeps dredging up).

Trying to explain to someone with Asperger's that flushable wipes aren't flushable is like trying to argue that the sky is green.

Giggity.

[Badger]

I'm not sure, but I think I finally cleared my body of the last of the food I ate from my Wednesday to Sunday gorge-a-thon.

Just had one of those times when nature calls right before you need to head out the door. It's never a quick and easy one, is it?

[MBGreen]

wiped too hard.

It was like the first 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan in the can today.

[Johnny English]

No. You've gone too far now.
