Toilet Plunger

Toilet Plunger

“No not that plunger. I want the one that goes in the clean water tank.”, said Gloria.
“Oh I see what you mean, ya we’ve got some of those.” the funny looking man behind the counter at the hardware store said. She paid for the part she needed and went home. Damned if she was going to be a ‘girly-girl’ and have to pay an arm and a leg to some funny looking guy whose pants were falling off come and put this silly looking thing in. She tried hard not to giggle at the thing when she saw it because it reminded her of the first diaphragm she’d gotten from the free clinic downtown called, “The Red Door”.

The wheels on her bicycle squeaked as she rode ‘Betsy’ home. Betsy was a great looking Schwinn in her day but that day had come and gone ages ago.
Gloria gets home and runs up the stairs hair flying every which way and the stairs groaning as she tackles them 2 at a time. Now she’s in the bathroom and trying to figure out what to do next. Trying to remember what the how to manual she found in the library said to do next when she looked at the package she’d just purchased.

“Cool! It say’s how to put it in on the back of the package.” she cried out.
A few hours later she flushes for the first time and watches to see if she’s got it right.
“Yes, and Sweet!” she shouts out jubilantly, and with that she closes the door, drops trow, and sit’s down.

Because always remember you only borrow coffee...
you have to give it back.
