Last night, I arrived home shortly before 10 p.m. I was on the phone with my good buddy Justin when I walked in the door. We have had some plumbing problems as of late and our landlord had been there most of the evening to figure out why the kitchen sink was backing up into the bath tub. (Random, I know- broccoli in your shower = NOT COOL).
So, walking in the door with Justin on the phone, Patty says, "Frank (not his real name) left you a surprise on the back of the toilet." I looked at her and raised my eyebrows quickly asking Justin to hold on for a second. To Patty I say, "Is it bad? Gross? What is it?"
"Just go look," she says very calmly.
I walk into the bathroom fully expecting some sort of hair ball, food or other gross item. What do I find? An old pair of men's tighty whities sitting on the back of the toilet. The conversation continued (with Justin on the phone):
Me: What is that? Is that what was in the drain? (I start laughing)
Patty: Nooooo, those are his "rags" that he was using while doing the plumbing work.
Me: No WAY
Justin: What is it?
Patty: Yes, I dare you to check them for skid marks.
Me: No WAY.
Justin: Jordanne, what is it?
Me: Men's underware, which Frank has used as his rags to clean up.
Justin: Laughing.
Me: Laughing.
Patty: Laughing.
This story isn't as good without the picture we took. When I get the picture, it will be posted for your viewing pleasure.

Okay, that is funny!! And quite frankly, a little disturbing. Frank sounds like a special man.
Sounds like your life is fun!! I'm glad for you. How many days now until you leave for Ethiopia?
Oh, and by the way...Annie, the dog...way cute!! She looks very happy to be living with you and Patty.
Toodles!
i can't wait for the picture, because i'm laughing pretty hard without it!
And then there's the amendment to the blog post, wherein I asked Ryan, "So, if you are working on something and you realize you don't have a rag, do you just take your undies off and use them?"
"No, but I do keep old underwear in my rag bin. But they've been through the wash."
Wow. So many uses.
This is SO worthy of a spot on Wednesday night television. I stopped by to see your roommate (and old roommate) on my way back to home from Chicago. I wish I could have said HELLO to you, but I only had 30 mins. Next time I guess it shall be.
