An experience of a lifetime
It started out as a normal day...Annette and Tyler came over for the usual bible study...followed by Tyler staying a bit longer to hang out to past some time until he met Jim. Melanie and I were reading on the couch when I got bored and decided to take a little nap...Melanie left to go over to the internet cafe and then it all started...I heard some strange noise, like water turned on and they were hosing something off outside my apartment but curiosity didn't stir much so I didn't get up and look because it stopped after a few minutes. Naturally after a nap you feel the urge of needing to go to the bathroom so I did...This experience, however, would not be a normal trip to the WC. Before I had finished I heard a rumble beneath my seat (no i didn't fart)...before there was time to react the toilet became proactive. If you have been to Yellowstone you know what Old Faithful is like, I had something like a first hand experience with a geyser, only my geyer was my toilet. Water was spraying everywhere and it wasn't like a normal backup...this water was out for a vengence and out to get me. When it started spraying I moved quickly to the door, opening and then shutting it while I was outside...then proceeded to pull up my pants...Yeah it happened that quickly. I was standing outside the bathroom stunned that this had occured...I then called some people to try and get help, but all I got was laughter and confused people on the other line. Jim finally called me back and said he was coming over later with a man who would help us figure out what had gone wrong....He came over and they looked and there was no explination. They decided to go over to the property manager to find out there was a sign in the hallway saying that they would be cleaning out the sewers that day... The sign needless to say is not in a spot I normally look and wouldn't have spent time reading it considering the context was quite dense in French with vocab I don't understand.. So that is my story of the exploding toilet...an experience of a lifetime....our God surely has a sense of humor.
