Monday Big Flush

(Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) Due to local water shortages, city authorities have ordered rationing of water availability to 72 hours per week. Meanwhile, preplanned toilet flushing on Mondays has also been instituted.

According to Mayor Thaba Moyo,

"It means everybody has to flush their toilet at the stipulated time which will be 7.30pm. This is done to prevent any sewer blockages as we anticipate longer periods without water" in the sewer system, he said.

In addition, the sewer blockages can partially be blamed on the type of material being flushed.

Heh. It appears that Zimbabwean currency is less valuable than toilet paper.
