NASHVILLE — The Tennessee official most responsible for maintaining the quality of the state’s water and public works systems has to remind her own employees how to use a toilet. That includes a warning they’re not supposed to flush their shoes down the commode.

Sandra K. Dudley, director of the Water Resources Division of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, sent an email Thursday warning employees about the perils of flushing a variety of not toilet-friendly objects while using the facilities at the department’s main offices in downtown Nashville, at the Tennessee Tower

The Director of the agency strikes me as a possible stalker:

Maybe they come off the foot when cleaning them in the “mini-shoe washer”

[Billthedrill]

Well, our toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says, “Never flush a tampoon”
This great information cost me half a weeks pay
and the toilet blew up later on the next day...

We are millions and millions, were coming to get ya
Were protected by unions so don't let it upset you
Can’t escape the conclusion, it’s probably Gods will
that civilization will grind to a standstill

I came here to post some snarky comment, but I don’t think I could have matched that. LOL!

A “mini shoe or foot washer” is formally know as a bidet.

[GeronL]

I did not know there was an epidemic of shoe flushing

[GeronL]

[real saxophonist]

Once upon a time, when I was a teenager, we were admonished for flushing Q-Tips down the toilet.

That I can understand, but shoes? What?

What I want to know is why people think it's a good idea to tie shoes together and throw them over power lines.

Thats rich BUT whats really rich is guy guys/gals that hired her..
time to start looking for idiot creep... UP the chain of command..

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Bidet?

Ain’t that one-uh dem fancy “your-a-peein” drinkin-water fountains I see in bathrooms when I travelz overseas?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I found a FLASHLIGHT in a clogged sewer line once during my younger days. Never could figure out how they flushed a flashlight down the toilet.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Instead, set two bricks or concrete blocks on your lawn and set your old shoes on top of those blocks.

Thank you for your cooperation.

And by the way, please do not attempt to flush old cars down the toilet, either.
