If it's brown....

We've been doing our best, within reason, to be good environmental citizens for a while by doing the whole recycling bit, buying energy efficient bulbs, walking or using mass transit whenever we can, etc. Lately, though, Panagiota has been taking things a step further in an effort to minimize our water consumption. You all know the rule about the conservation of toilet water, right? If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. Well, let's just say that there should be another line added to that rule, and it goes a little something like this:

If it's yellow, let it mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.
If you've eaten homemade asparagus soup anytime within the last two days, kindly flush twice and be sure to use air spray.

Incidentally, if you've ever been curious about the science behind how toilets work, check this out. If you've ever wondered about why asparagus makes your pee smell funny, check this out.

Thanks hon. Oh, and you know the no flushing at night rule so that Her Royal Highness (yes, that's right folks, he got promoted) doesn't wake up? It is hereby repealed.
