I have the original 1930s toilet here in the house. I could flush a small government functionary down it in one flush. When I mash the handle, the house shakes, and conversations can't be heard.

It's ugly as heck, and hard to keep clean and working. I make parts to keep it working.

I'll die before I give it up.

And I will flush down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers.

We have one that has a rather long pipe run with just enough drop to pass code.. in 1958...

The 1.6 GPF plugged all the time. If not the toilet it’s self it would clog in the pipe.

I acquired a new 5 gpf toilet (it pays to know people in the business. it was collecting dust in the back of the shop)

But now when you flush that thing, water pressure in the house (I have a private well) drops, lights dim as the pump tries to keep up and doors to the bathroom rattle. It’s been there a little over a month. Haven’t needed the plunger or the snake since.

Have you tried?

I'd bet that you could make a fortune on Pay-Per-View, just from Freepers alone. But we'd need to be able to choose the government employee.

One should not let such abilities go to waste (so to speak).
