Congested

I have had a malingering congestion in my right ear ever since Amelie put one of her rubber ducks down the toilet, causing a similar congestion in our plumbing. The tricky thing about toys in your pipes is that the Cambodian toilet is set in concrete as are all the pipes. After a week of snakeing,plungering and pouring baking soda and vinegar down the bog we finally got someone to come and carefully chisel the toilet free from the tiled floor, extract the rubber duck from the now exposed pipe hole, and artistically re-cement the toilet back in place. This took 6 hours and cost $10. And my ear seems to be clearing all by itself...
