Broccoli

"We need help. We have broccoli coming out of all our sinks!"
"Ok, so it's coming out of both of your kitchen sinks?"
"No, not just the kitchen sinks, the bathroom sinks too!"

Alright. Denise is going to wet herself laughing at this one, but here goes.

On Sunday night, we were watching The 40 Year Old Virgin, which is a hilarious movie. ("We" = Me, Tosha, Ashley, Jared, and Eric) Jared left early. Tosha was getting something out of the fridge, and asks if something in it was mine or not. I told her that I would be right over to check, but it was probably Angela's, and Angela wasn't planning on coming back for any of the food (or the FiberCon she left in her cupboard) so we decided to throw it away...or in this case, feed it to the garbage disposal. We fed it a few small things, and then we just broke up a head of broccoli (it was going bad anyways) and some baby carrots, and put them down the disposal. They went down fine, and while I was doing something at the sink which required water, the water would go down, but then it would come right back up. So, I ran the disposal again, and the water went down, and then came right back up again. Weird. It was after I got Eric to help me that I figured out that the water was coming up in the right hand sink. (we have a double kitchen sink) So, Eric keeps trying and trying to fix it, and everyone is laughing at me.

Ashley says that she is going to go take a shower, and leaves the living room. A second later we hear her scream. Tosha and I and Eric run back to the bathroom to see Ashley standing outside of the bathroom door jumping up and down, and screaming: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD...etc etc... We get her away from the door and look in and what do we see? It looks like somebody had massive diahrrea in our bathroom sinks, and the floor is wet with dirty water. We didn't know what to do.

So, we sat there and stared for a little bit, and Eric turned on the damn disposal again, more water comes out of the sinks, so all of us are yelling and laughing. I mean, cmon, what isn't funny about broccoli coming out of your bathroom sinks?? Ok, so maybe the mess isn't funny, and the drawers being filled with broccoli water isn't funny (Ok, so that's really funny too) but it did make for an interesting night... Facilities came down and looked at it, and in the morning, one of the cleaning ladies helped us clean it up. (we could barely go in there, it stunk so bad)

Come to find out, if you don't run the disposal long enough after each time you use it while running water, some of the stuff stays in there and it gets built up. All the sinks are connected to each other, and the toilet and bathtub are each on a separate line. So, there was no broccoli in the tub or toilet.
