octolilly [through the years]

We just got this notice in the mail:

The South Middleton Township Municipal Authority will be cleaning the sewer main in front of your property on Thursday, April 2, 2009, weather permitting.

Cleaning the sewer main requires the use of high-pressure water jets. In some instances the high pressure can back up into your house and cause the clean water in your toilet bowls to erupt out of your toilet like a geyser splash out onto the floor or walls. To avoid making a mess we recommend that you close the lid on your toilets, drape an old towel over the seat, and hold the seat lid down with something like a phone book.

We suggest that you cover the toilets from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This has freaked me out beyond wildest belief. I am so worried about our toilet spouting water like Old Faithful in Yellowstone.

It will be just my luck that the toilet will erupt WHILE I’M ON IT.

Also, this is not an April Fool’s Day joke. How I wish it were.
