Don't throw your private papers in the loo!

It was pay day a few days ago at work, so just like any other pay day, I blew the dust of my budget and plugged in numbers, until the numbers didn't put me out of house and home!!

Then just like any other pay day I utilized my employers color printer (shhh) and printed out the budget to present to Big C!!

Or course just like any other illegal print job that one might do, the first copy had a million typos and errors and another copy had to be printed.

So just like any other trashed illegal print job, I tore it into a million little pieces and proceeded to my "when I'm not home" version of a shredder.....THE LOO!

I dropped the million shredded pieces of paper into the loo, flushed, made sure it was all gone, washed my hands (even though I know I didn't use the facilities), and went on my merry way!

A little while later the facilities were calling my name (I'm trying to be as proper as possible here while talking about such personal bodily functions) and I went into another stall than my "shredder" stall and..........to my dismay....there floating around were my private "budget" pieces!!!!

But how could this be? I flushed and made sure it was all gone, how did it wonder on down to the stall further down?

Of course I promptly flushed, and ran to the next stall, and the next stall and the next stall, making sure no others held my private papers!

So without understanding the intricacies of public plumbing (obviously I know they are all connected) I leave you the moral of this story:

Don't flush your papers in the loo, take them home and shred them too!
