Today, I was the stuck-at-home duty officer. I had a number of household chores I was mostly able to put off for later. One priority I had to attend to was a broken toilet. Fortunately for me, the fix was easy.
One thing that toilets remind me of is Indiana Jones (pictured above for reference). Not that I can recall any scenes in any of the movies where Dr. Jones is incommoded ("Indy!!" "Not now, Marion! I'm busy making Number Two!" "Indeeeeee!!!!" " I. SAID. NOT. NOW!!!!" -- you have to imagine the trademark Harrison-Fordian snarl with that.) No, the toilet tie-in is trivia: the sound of the heavy cover on the stone crypt for the Ark of the Covenant being removed was made by scraping the ceramic lid of a household toilet cistern.
That's something to ponder the next time you're sitting on the throne.
