a matchbox car or our toilet's pipes? i'm asking this question because while t-man was busy dropping a few kids off at the pool this afternoon, he also dropped a car he was playing with in the pool. he somehow thought that by flushing it, he'd be able to retrieve his car. currently our toilet looks like a construction zone. j taped across the toilet seat so that no one uses it while we debate whether to dismantle the toilet or cross our fingers and just keep flushing...
any recommendations?

I was happy to read that it was NOT a Matchbox airplane courtesy of yours truly! And though I don't have personal experience, I did come across this posting... **Glad the wet/dry trick worked for ya. I use one myself quite frequently. Fo good measure though, go to ye ol' hardware stoe and tell them you want a closet auger. It's a short snake with a ridgid center and a curve at the bottom for guiding the head into the s trap with a crank handle on top. It's specially made for reteieving offending items out of toilets. They work great and cost about ten bucks. Good gizmo to have around. Can save you having to call a plumber for a stuck tight matchbox car or something.**
actually we once had to buy an auger for our old house when i accidentally flushed an offending item down the toilet. but we got rid of it with the move to CA.
anyway, it seems to be working ok. my sis said my nephew, N, did the same thing and never had any problems. i'm just glad it was a matchbox car and therefore small. i think we'd be in trouble if it were a movie car :)
