Fishin' in the "crapper"

Well, this is my plan after I return from the VA in Dyersburg this afternoon. There is more to it! It is embarrassing, but funny. So here goes!

What happened.

I was blowing my nose and dropped the tissue in the toilet. As I flushed the toilet, I sneezed real hard. The sneeze was so hard my glasses fell in the toilet in sync with the "flush". I have one of this super flushers and it sucked my glasses down the crapper tube.

Plan of action.

I plan to drive over to Grizzly jigs and get a pack of treble hooks. When I return home I will tie a treble hook to Brenda's ultra lite "Wally Pole" and flush the hook and line down the crapper to see if I can catch my glasses.

Now, for once in my life, I HOPE I DON'T CATCH A BIG ONE!

Have a chuckle at my expense today. Wish me some luck on my new expedition.

LOL...............I don't even want picture that...........you'll get them back if you spider rig

Sounds like wishful thinking Tom but the best of luck with it. If it works, you might get with rnvinc and see if you guys can work up a prototype. Might get rich!

Good luck

Good luck glassing, lol

being a geezer is so much fun

I know of a neighbor whom did the about same thing except, when he sneezed his bottom false teeth plate when into crapper, luckily he didn't flush yet so he had to reach in and pull them out -- guess he soaked them in alcohol, then hydrogen peroxide, then a few other cleaners afterwards. His wife would not kiss him for a month. Well I am 75 and that's one experience I have not had yet---but there's always tomorrow :biggrin:biggrin

Lol that's hilarious cane pole

Good luck with that adventure :crazy:

Only you, Tom!!!

Is this what they call Pot Shooting ?

More like a crap shoot

SUCCESS!!

Happy ending to the Crapper fishing adventure.I retrieved the glasses after numerous tries. It took about 30 feet of line to reach my readers. So, I guess I was long lining.

Trouble and solution.

Bent the frames because of the tough fight to reel them in. Will drop off readers at local eye doctor for repair.
After the readers are repaired, I will tell the doc what happened. Can't wait for his reaction.

Another great adventure. I am the greatest!

You are the man Tom!

Thats hilarious !

Don't let some mean ol' Dr pick on you ,Tom.

True story....... 3-4 years ago I got snow goose crap in both my eyes when I got bombed on a hunt in my layout blind. I just wiped my eyes clean and went on with the hunt. A couple of days later my eyes became very infected. I went first to my optometrist. When I told him my story, he laughed then took a bunch of photos before prescribing me some antibiotic drops for my eyes. He also referred me to an ophthalmologist close by. When I got into his exam room, the guy laughed his butt off when I told my story. He then took all kinds of photos and told me I was his first patient with goose crap in my eyes. More medicine and more snickers from the staff, I was sent on my way. I think I'll be scarred for life from the way I was treated. Anybody think I have a case for a lawsuit?

Don't let some mean ol' doctor make fun or laugh when you tell him/her your story of your fishing expedition.

BTW, great job!!!

Now you Sir, are what I call a very good fisherman!!!
"gene"

Tom, do you have a DI shot of the glasses?:Rofl

Well, I thought of a colonscopy tube DonG. ha. Also thought of you and billbob and a Jimmy Carter peanut crankbait. What a combination of thoughts while I was longlining for my "specs". You all missed a good trip down the drain.

Job well done young fella.

That's something you'll never see on the Bill Dance Show!

That's too bad.... might try tying a magnet on along with the treble hook, it could help you get close enough to set the hook...make sure the drag is set loose, they might make a run on you..... good luck...

I gotta tell ya that the first thing that came to mind was "and we thought the pictures of you in your skivvies was odd". Glad to hear you got em back. My Dad had false teeth for as long as I can remember, and I have a few stories about those, but this story of glasses is DEFINITELY a first. Good job on your technique.

Good one, thanks for sharing. I almost guarantee you all of have had or know someone who has had an experience they had rather not share. Best way is to handle it just like you did, lay out your cards and laugh at yourself. My buddy used to always head my way when he had done something dumb so he could tell me before anybody else. He didn't want them to get a laugh at his expense.

Under these conditions they usually hold on the PVC structure best.

I'm just going to give you an "ATTA BOY" on that one. I'll admit that I've come up with some crazy schemes before to retrieve lost items but I'm here to tell you I don't think I'd have ever come up with that one. I'd have just written that one off as being crap out of luck. That's just a "whodathoughtit" if there ever was one.

Amazing! That's taking CRAP-py fishing to a new level and an extreme one I might add. Just hope you don't get to be a pro at it.

Talk about passing glass. :Rofl:Rofl
