Every fall I go on my roof and use a 25 ft. snake to clean out the sewer stacks. (Don't ask why). One of my friends asked if he could borrow it to do his. Cheap bastard. Anyhow he goes about cleaning the stack and lets go of the snake by accident and in she goes. Could not fish it out at all. Ended up he had to pay a plumber to come and cut his cast iron stack and fish it out in the basement. I still laugh my head off thinking about the words that must have come from him when it happened.
