Here in TGTBTU land I live with 3 young men. 3 healthy young men. I've learned a lot from these fella's. Things like; persons of the opposite sex will actually openly flirt with a guy who hasn't brused his teeth in 3 days, the art of  setting your ass ablaze while sticking a lighter to your bum during a fart, and regardless of the imbalance of their daily diet (i.e. atleast two of them never and I mean never eat a green vegetable) they have the ability to discard human waste in apocalyptic proportions. I am about to elaborate on the last example...

On Thanksgiving day we had a little plumbing problem in the central bathroom, this bathroom is the largest one and the one the young men use 99.9% of the time. Because there were no hardware stores open we were unable to purchase the necessary parts to make the minor repair. So, we just decided that we'd shut off the water and make our guests aware that they'd have to use the smaller bathroom located in the master bedroom. This was no problemo for any of us, but my husband made some sort of 'cutesy' remark in passing regarding the resident young men using our bathroom until their's was repaired. It went something like this; "turn off the water and move the plunger to our bathroom." I didn't realize the brilliance of that remark until later in the evening.

The oldest of the 3 came to our room around 8 p.m. needing to use the facilities, that act only took minutes followed by 10 minutes of plunging. The youngest of the 3 entered our domain a little over an hour later announcing his 'need'.  His deposit took the better part of 20 minutes to clear. What the h...

The man and I are, well, *ahem* perfectly regular but we've never once in our two years here had the need for a plunger in that bathroom.  Yet in the course of two hours our toilet had been violated, TWICE!

Is this just an 'age thing'? As mentioned above they don't eat even close to their RDA of fiber or fruits & veggies, so how is this possible? And if it is what will happen if their colon one day rebels against them? I forsee an abdominal lockdown of epic proportions!

I think our household plumbing is counting down the days until these 3 find another throne.
