Apparently, a county courthouse in Missouri (or Missourah, as I like to call it) has had overflowing toilets on the second floor for years, and it was only recently that they decided to take apart the pipes to see what the problem was. So, what was causing all those plumbing issues? Sippy cups.
Though the reason why there were Sippy cups in there to begin with is probably something innocuous, I do like the “maybe people were trying to throw drugs up and over the roof” theory because it made me think of ’80s-era club kids, who probably DID transport drugs in Sippy cups.
Kudos to the ABA Journal, by the way, which ran this story with the fantastic headline, “Sippy Cups Caused Exploding Court Toilets.”
