1. not to me

it seems to work better to use the suction action than the pushing. at least at first to dislodge the clog. I have found that you can cause it to burp some nasty water up out of the toilet if the clog is pretty secure - you push hard or fast and bloop, that water splashes back at you in stead of going down. better to push gently and than pull back with more strength.

2. Back when I was working, I'd put a drop cloth on the floor around the toilet.

As I'd sometimes have to go as fast as I could, for as long as I could and as hard as I could pushing and pulling.
 
The worst place to go on toilet service calls was a senior citizen's home where they apparently were taking pills that had the side effect of turning their crap into rock.
 
Edit: But in most cases, your method is best as it makes less of a mess.

For a second there, I thought this primitive was talking about something else, until they got to their third sentence.

I think the next episode is how to use a light switch to turn a light off and on.

To save Gaia and the environment....DUmmies should break arm in several places and then stick arm down the drain.

Yeah, because the toilet plunger will be used in other places . . . :whistling:

On their faces, specifically their mouths, because that's where all the crap is.

I never had much luck with the toilet plunger, but have used a bucket of water dumped quickly into the commode with a lot of success.  If that doesn't work, I just call the plumber that shows up on time and smells good.   :-)

I was thinking that DUmmies would be most likely to have to use the plunger to retrieve their trained gerbil.

We are talking way back as in the late 19th century. Generally, the very concept is frowned upon in these modern times.

Nope, too technical for even the most advanced DUmmie brains.

DUmmies shouldn't be trusted with anything sharper than a bowling ball.

As a side, the holes in the ball will keep them entertained for hours.   :naughty:
