Okay, by now most of you know I'm out of work for another three weeks. To make my life more fun, my septic tank backed up. Two hundred fifty bucks to pump it. For exercise I've been walking around the neighborhood. I'll be honest, 75% of my neighbors are jerks, but the few I like I'll stop and talk with. I was telling my friend Brian about my septic problems, and come to find it out he was in that line of work for eleven years.

"It's not your tank. Bet you a sixpack of beer your filter is clogged."

I didn't know septic tanks had filters, but they do....
