<MKAL|PsYkHoTiK-ret> i was thinking
<MKAL|PsYkHoTiK-ret> if the weighted end was a roto-rooter
<MKAL|PsYkHoTiK-ret> that would be some nice added value

<Bestia[ry]> Would be interresting how many ppl really put their fibre into the flush ... ^^

I was actually quite confused what the heck is about until I read the site...

But don't forget to take the fiber out before doing "serious
business" ... it could be clogged.

They even have a Professional Installation Service!

You can also choose to request our professional installation service, which dispatches an army of factory-trained, sub-contracted nanobots from the TiSP Access Node. The nanobots travel with exhilarating nano-speed through the sewer system and into your home to perform the installation service, which should be complete within 15 minutes. Note: For your own physical safety and emotional well-being and in consideration of the nanobots' working conditions, please make absolutely certain that your toilet is unoccupied at the scheduled appointment time.
