Rain and Water

It has been such a rainy nasty day that I wanted to post something funny. I received this in an email the other day and I hadn't seen it before. Our cat is fascinated by water and the toilet so this is perfect! This is why we keep our toilet lid down and haven't taught Saber to use the "Big Girl Potty".


Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: the water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail.

One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally got out of his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of the bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment the 'problem' for posterity:
