That sucking sound you hear

Keeping our sewers clean and fresh is of great importance in the City of Angels. Silver Lake just does it with a little more flair: I came home yesterday just in time to hear a loud and unmistakable sucking sound, accompanied by a blinding stink emanating from my bathroom. The bowl was empty and bone dry -

No one having used said room, nor summoned the dark demon of Nanageddon, I could only surmise that it was once again time for our sewer cleanse.

A quick investigation of the neighborhood revealed the big truck and confirmed my suspicions.

“Just be glad you weren’t sitting on it,” the street guy told me. Amen to that!
