aunt sandy sent me an e-mail last week entitled “this is really funny,” but i was too busy reading about the election to bother with the trivialness of funny.
but we know that funny is important. and what she sent me was, indeed, very funny.
MYSTERIOUS WATER LEAK PROBLEM
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren’t representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. — all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs.
He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home Knowing that few would believe him, he later taped a segment of the ’problem’ for posterity — below is a link to the video. You won’t believe what he discovered!
