Exploding Toilets Stir U.S. Bloggers' Humor

W300

Bloggers in the United States are seizing upon a couple of exploding toilets in a federal building to make light of Washington's many political woes.

Two federal employees were hurt when a backup of air pressure caused by faulty plumbing caused two toilets to blow up at the General Services Administration's regional headquarters on Monday.

"Do not flush toilets or use any domestic water," said the independent federal agency, which provides support services to U.S. government departments, in an urgent memo to staff in the building, WUSA television reported.

But bloggers with a sense of irony had another take on the incident.

"A new way to get government employees off their butts. Now we need to install the same equipment in the halls of Congress," wrote one Huffington Post blogger.

"What do you expect?" added another blogger named Themama. "It happened in DC. No one produces as much manure as politicians and as the manure decomposes it gives off methane. Ergo boom."

On washingtonpost.com, 172pilot alluded to President Barack Obama's health care reforms: "Obamacare ran out of funds for the second victim. He's been assigned an 'end of life counselor'."

For water engineers, "domestic water" means potable water, but CatChick74 said: "If the federal government begins using imported water in all the toilets, it will really impact the budget."
