Low Flow = High Smell

The Quip Pig says "San Fransisco’s push for low-flush toilets has created a serious problem.

This blog is just being developed. When it is up and running it will contain sarcastic, or snarky remarks, comments, videos, or graphics which I think are noteworthy of mention by the "Quip Pig." This will be done without discrimination regarding race, color, creed, religion, politics, etc., etc., etc. This blog will be updated only when I come across such items that I deem worthy of posting. Which should be fairly often due to the nature of the internet.
