Forget looking in between the couch cushions


I get a phone call with a very frustrated Jill on the other end. "The washer is not working!". Great, another problem with the house. So I get home and the stupid washer will not drain. So I pull out the manual and go straight to the troubleshoot section. OK, open this trap door, drain excess water, unscrew drain trap clear debris right? Not so fast. After struggling with the stupd plug for 45 minutes a penny all of the sudden falls out along with the follwing:
- $3.37 in coins
- 3 coins from china
- 3 paper clips
- 1 nail file
- My motorcycle key that I have been missing for 2 years
- a piece of linolium
- A craft brad
- a big ball of lint
- a piece of metal tubing of unkown origin
Glad to say that the washer is up an running.
