sign

We've been having some trouble with our toilet's flusher. I'm going to make a sign like this:

"To flush, hold down handle. No really, keep holding. Think you're done? You're not. See that slight tremor in the water? That's a good sign. You're on the right track. But don't stop holding. You've got a long way to go. Once you hear a slight rumbling, way down below, that means you're about halfway there. Don't let go! Don't get excited by the noises and think the toilet will "take over from here," because thats not going to happen.

Still holding? I know. You're doing a great job! Just keep doing that.

Get a book. Maybe hum a tune. You're gonna be here for awhile.

What was that? a gurgle? No. Just a trick. Keep holding."

You are obsessed with toilets and their surroundings. Maybe plumbing should be your vocation!
