Ok who's been pouring rocks down my garbage disposal?
The guy came by today and fixed my garbage disposal. He found a bunch of aquarium rocks in there. There is no Aquarium here so who is bringing their fish tank over to my house and dumping it down the drain?!

10. Wow! Not many people know that story, which is one of my
all-time favorites. I read it not long after it was written, which says a good deal about my age.

4. Perhaps your local produce manager is getting aggressive
adding pebbles to your veggies to increase their weight, and then when you rinse them (which you do, of course) they all end up where you found them.

But didn't you hear them when you turned the thing on? Or is that when it failed to function.

6. Did you have any small fish for dinner lately?
Anyway, what are "aquarium" rocks? Are they just little rocks?

And, did you wash any waffle-soled boots in the kitchen sink? A good source of little rocks. That's what got into my disposal machine. Noisy? Yeah.

12. I once had a shitload of pennies in my garbage disposal.
It was a new apartment I had moved into, so it had to have been a prank by the construction crew.

The noise from the disposal when it was turned on was almost deafening.
