WHAT'S IN YOUR TOILET

If you liked yesterday's toilet blog, you'll love this one.

A Brooklyn woman got the scare of her life right before dawn Monday when she spotted a 7-foot-long python peeking out of her toilet.


Nadege Brunacci, 38, was washing her hands in the bathroom of her third-floor apartment when she glanced back and saw the head of the snake coming out of her toilet. Most of its body was hidden in the pipes.

The restaurateur turned on the light and screamed for help. She then slammed down the lid and put a heavy box on top.

Her landlord and firefighters came to her aid, but it took plumbers to tear apart the downstairs neighbor's pipes to get to the snake out.

It was unclear how the serpent got into the pipes.

Brunacci now uses her daughter's training toilet ... seriously.

True story: My brother-in-law almost sat on a hissing raccoon in his toilet! Talk about the shock of hearing the hiss much less trying to escape with your pants around your ankles!

Now here's a snake:

When I worked Real Estate in new subdivisions, I had to use a port-a-potty out in the field. Upon sitting down and starting
the 'flow' I grabbed for the roll of toilet paper and spun off a few sheets. I also spun off a VERY, VERY large wolf spider about the size of my palm onto my bare thighs. The construction workers saw was a woman with her wet panty hose down around her knees leaping, shouting and frantically brusing at her clothes coming out of the portable. I'm sure that spider told some crazy tale when it got back home about his wild ride! Moral of the story: look three times before using. :)

A snake in the toilet?!
What a bite in the ass,eh?

Must have been someone in the apartment complex that tried to flush the critter. It is all straight up from the street.It's unlikely it slittered up from the
sewer lines.
Has the makings for a good "B" movie though.

I wonder if her neighbor reported her screaming as a noise violation like your previous blog story. I bet this woman sprinkled in a few obscenities, too. This is probably only time a plumber's hourly fee was well worth it! It'd be funny if a teeny garter snake was lodged in her child-size potty, too.
