Yes, that was a groaner, but this was too funny. I was so tempted to report on it as “minor blockage in the plumbing vent”. 🙂 ![IMG.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/b/9/b91fee868b07cbad8b7792cfb750146f9982359e.jpeg) ![IMG.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/5/9/592aa4da7a63b416759cbff7c683416a9ed65189.jpeg) ---

> [@ccurrins](#): > > Did it look like this from the attic? > > Bath exhaust from today Why those are two fine looking examples TV antenna holders. I heard plumbers instal them. They are expensive too. The hub end is for the mast I am told.:roll: They seem to be fastened very well to carry the antenna mast load. They look the proper width to have an opening or 4" or 5" inches size for 1 ir 2 - 1.5 inch antenna masts Mr. Currins ?😉 when the mast is inserted do you use concrete to hols them in place??? PS: That attic space also looks the right size to store the car over the winter.:shock: ---

> [@wdecker](#): > > This, from last week. GC really wanted to know what was wrong :mrgreen: HA HA HA HA HA Draw him/her a illustration of how water flows, gravity, and a hole to start. If its a genital man, ask him what happens when he misses the bowl and why he thinks it happens. HE MIGHT BE NEANDERTHAL. I recommend you take your time. If you smell smoke, you might have accomplished SOMETHING.🙂 If its a genitaless man, then ask her why she sits OVER THE DAM BOWL. Oh yes, do not forget the water, gravity and hole narrative.😉 They will both either just walk away confused and go in a corner and cry…or get down on bended knee and start chanting, and building a fire to cook the antelope they just killed. All in your honor. Too worship you for teaching them such a wonder gift.🆒 “The smoke I was talking about Will.” If they do, they are NEANDERTHAL. Its not their fault. They just not have evolved yet. If you got a glimpse of their toolbox these items may also be a clue. All the best. ---
