Flushy flushy...

My buddy Iron Keith and I were having a Messenger conversation today when he brought me up to speed on the "Flushing The Quran" story. Apparently, there was a news item about interrogators at Guantanamo Bay trying to get terror suspects to talk by "desecrating the holy book of Islam" ie. Flushing it down the toilet. It seems now that the whole story is bullshit.

Well, duh! What toilet in the world can flush a Bible? I have a hard enough time trying to flush my poo down the toilet! Mind you, there are times that I've taken a Bible-sized poo before, and I make a point of ending those off with a "Thank God!" (which is repeated if it actually flushes).

If they actually had toilets with that much flushing power, shouldn't we be worried about losing some of the smaller soldiers? Can you imagine the letter that would have to be sent to the parents?

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, we regret to inform you that your son is currently making his way through the Guananamo Bay sewer system. He fought a valiant fight, and died bravely. In his honour, he was given a 21 flush salute."

As well, if a toilet were big enough and powerful enough to flush a Quran, wouldn't the company advertise that fact?

Introducing: The Freedom Flush! Large enough to flush the Quran! Powerful enough to flush the French! Made entirely from the finest Chinese porcelain, the Freedom Flush features a limited edition Mission: Accomplished paint job for you to take pride in while you do your business, and also plays "The Star Spangled Banner" when you're done! The Freedom Flush: Flushing Terrorism Since 2005!

Thanks Iron Keith for the collaborative effort.
