WHen you flush the toilet, when it gets into the sewers, can people see it

as it floats by?

I've been meaning to use some dollar bills. Not many, but to show a point as to how the dollar has been shit upon by those dingdongs in power (corporate america and their political supporters) and then flushed.

1. Do you think there are...

...bleachers down there? And that people are waiting for you to poop so they can watch it float by?

2. No, but maybe the Roto-Rooter guy has to fix a septic tank once in a while

:D :D :D

Maybe he'd get the message, though the compound interest might make him gag...

3. Yeah, Dave Attell went to a sewage processing plant

and they showed a river of sewage going by. People can see it.

Doubtful, though, that anyone WOULD actually see it- probably wouldn't be on the surface, and I don't think people really take the time out to watch. Unless they're really sick bastards.

5. Is this a protest art for sewer watchers?

Do you think someone watching shit float by in a sewer will understand the subtle meanings of your protest?

11. This is the funniest thread I've read for awhile

although I don't think anything could top the "soft toilet seats" one.

:D

6. there are two systems here on long island

After you sink the Nautilus and send it to a watery grave......it flows throw the sewer pipes to a treatment plant where they run it through some gravel, sand, and bacteria who eat most of the good stuff. Then its on its happy way to the good old Great South Bay, because someone needs to feed the clams.

So if you live around here, your dollar would end up in a screen somewhere at the water treatment plant. The run-off from our streets goes into a separate sewer line, gets much less treatment, and also ends up in the bay usually.

12. good movie, thanks for reminding me of that

I bet I would have a whole new perspective on it now that I've seen the Life & Death of Peter Sellers on HBO last week.

10. dollar bills are cloth, not paper

they are designed to get very wet and still hold together

13. They're great fun to see in the washing machine after the cycle stops...

Of course, that's akin to defacing the money, which is an eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil felony and probably the reason why a few million Dem votes got, uh, flushed down the toilet...
