Setting logs adrift down a canadian river

I came home last night, to the usual thing you see as soon as you walk through our front door. Our toilet. This time, chef was pouring boiling water down the loo to help send the logs adrift.

She advised night time was not the time to be using the toilet. Well of course! the pipes had been frozen over by the night time temperatures, and nothing was going down!

I stepped back outside and took a wee on the footpath instead, while chef continued to pour hot water. Paper Mache tennants, please do your number twos in the day time. Thanks, RTF.
