Flushing Out the Culprit

Mom sent this to me, and it's just too funny not to pass on!

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: first the water meter, then 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 tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this had been happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity -- see attached video .


Here's the video...

Well, that solves the mystery doesn't it??? That's too funny. Makes me glad Grace and Petee can't reach the handle. :-)

That's the funniest thing I've seen. Mind you I probably wouldn't be laughing if the water bill was mine! (c:

What on earth!?!? Okay, I'm grasping here. Maybe the cat thinks the toilet is going to barf up all the fish his people have been flushing?

Crazy!
