Holly has been doing a lot of thinking. Holly has been doing extensive investigating. Holly finds that the best solution to her problem may be installing one of these:

porta potty

Holly has decided that a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john may be her only option. She has decided that this is the location for her new purchase:

Why would Holly who lives in a lovely suburban neighborhood in a house that could (but doesn’t) have a white picket fence with complete indoor plumbing choose to install a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john?

plunger needed for low flow toilet

It might have something to do with the plunger that is permanently attached to Holly’s left arm. Holly’s left arm is tired of plunging. Holly has noticed that she is starting to choose outfits in the morning based on whether they match the plunger attached permanently to her left arm.

Holly is wearing green hoping that her green-wearing karma will overcome her low-flow toilet hating soul. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is dark, very dark. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is deep, very deep. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is attached to a body sporting a plunger as a permanent fixture.

Holly’s low-flow toilets seem to have something against the act of flushing.

toilet does not flush

Hey low-flow toilets…why are you so anti-flush?

Holly also wonders what is the point of low-flow toilets if she has to attempt flushing them three kazillion times with intermittent plunging. Ironically Coincidentally, that is the exact same decibel (three kazillion) Holly’s voice hits when she hears, “Mommy! The toilet isn’t working!”

So, until Al Gore dedicates his life to plunging Holly’s low-flow toilets or suitable alternatives in the United States of Low-Flow Toilets (US of LF T) are legal. Holly is planning this drastic action.

Holly will no longer allow people to use the INDOOR toilets. Holly will lead them to the OUTDOOR toilet which never needs plunging despite the level of crap.

Holly can only hope that the proximity to the patio of the new porta-potty, johnny-on-the-spot, porta-john could encourage its use by a certain Holly’s dog…

  1. I am SO with ya on th is one! The plunger has taken up permanent residence beside the girl’s toilet because a)they can’t seem to remember to hold the handle down until it’s ALL down and b) they may need a reteach on the basics of potty training like how much toilet paper it takes to wipe one’s own bum!

  2. when we moved into our old (rental) house 10 years ago, we had three toilets.

    the first night in the house, ALL THREE TOILETS clogged and would not UNclog.

    four kids. no toilets. can you say “oh crap”?

    low-flush is not my friend.

  3. Ah yes, the low-flow toilet… I believe that I , on average, flush that bad boy 3.46 times per use. Which translates into nearly 3.5 gallons of water used per visit. Now, if I had a normal 3 gallon per flush toilet and only had to flush ir once… That’s a savings of .5 gallons per use.

    So what is the point of the low-flush toilet again?

  4. you ALWAYS crack me up!! i love the story lines and the best part is the PICTURES!! you go girl!! love the skinny jeans, even if it is only on stick figure Holly!! lol

    I so feel you on the toilet flushing problem!! ANNOYING!!!

    good luck with getting it figured out! If there is a solution to it.

    have a good day!!

    xoxo’s jenn

    still roflmao!!!

  5. Oh, I will vote for you if you vote for me…I will start the voting now.

    Bloggers Choice Awards that is.

  6. I am laughing because A) this post rules and B) I am picturing someone drawing these pictures and I die laughing conjuring that image. LOL!

    Glad I stopped by, will add you to my unimaginably overflowing reader…like your toilet really. Not to say this is crap…you know what I mean, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. The Europeans have it right with that two button system. One button for being all Earth-friendly and taking care of Number 1 and Screw the Earth That Crap Has Got to Go for the other stuff (or when you get toilet paper happy). We need choices to maintain our sanity.

    That, by the way, is the precise reason we have not replaced our toilets. They may be old and ugly, but they flush.

  8. I have the same problem. I thought it was Taylor until my husband peed the other day (no tp) and it got clogged. Are you kidding? AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

  9. LOL…I know, I know. I’ve got the same damn problem at my house except we’ve even removed the low-flow device and have decided to blatantly snub our noses at Al Gore in order to save our sanity and STILL not a day goes by without the need for plunging. Seriously, scientists are working on so many important thing, fuel efficient cars, cures for cancer and diabetes, laser hair removal, teeth whitening, genetically altered and superior corn crops, can’t someone work on a water efficient toilet that actually work as intended?
    Let me know how that Johnny on the spot works out for you.
