The Great Flood of '09

Folks, have you ever wondered how to clear those dust bunnies out from under the washer and dryer without physically moving the machines? Well I've got just the solution for you! With no heavy lifting involved, you can get that floor wiped clean using the following method that even the biggest idiot can pull off!

***This method will only work if you are at your parent's two-story house (preferably built circa the 1960's), and there has to be a bathroom on each floor.

Step One: After flushing the toilet in the upstairs bathroom, DON'T jiggle the handle to make sure the water has stopped running.

Step Two: Return to your desk on the bottom floor with your full cup of coffee. Make sure you don't have to get up from the desk, or pay attention to your surroundings in the least bit, and then stare mindlessly at your screen for at least 20 minutes.

***Unbeknownst to you at this time, the running water in the upstairs restroom is more than the old pipes can handle at once, and the shower stall in the downstairs restroom is slowly filling with water...

Step Three: Act bewildered when your dad walks and starts groaning "Oh no... Oh no... Oh no..." and mumbles about water on the floor. Get up from your desk, inspect the bathroom and the adjacent bedroom. Agree with him that, yes, there does in fact appear to be water all over the floor, and apparently underneath the carpeted areas as well. (Random wet spots on the carpet are evidence that the entire underlying pad is soaked. Fabulous).

*** Mind you, this is not clean water. This is water filled with dog hair, soggy clumps of dust, and chunks of cat litter that were stuck in the corners of the bathroom floor.

Step Four: Bust out your SHAM-WOWs and spend the next two hours cleaning up water!! Feel refreshed knowing that you successfully flushed those dust bunnies out from under the dryer and now they will haunt you no more.
