According to a survey by Delta Faucets, and first hand experience by Grizzly "Big Schooner" Brown, the worst thing that can go wrong when you're hosting a party is...A BROKEN TOILET!!!  More people worried about that than running out of food, or having a major appliance break down.  You can ALWAYS run down to the carry-out or 24-hour grocery store and get grub and, coolers and ice...but NOT a THRONE!!!  And party GUESTS agreed...and said a broken toilet ist the WORST thing that could happen at a party.  TWO-in-FIVE people said they'd had a toilet-related plumbing problem while entertaining guests  at their house.  And one-in-three actually knew BEFORE the party their was a problem with the toilet...but rolled the dice anyway!  One-in-five hosts said that they'd WORRIED about a toilet malfunction before the party...and one-in-10 brought a plumber in to check things out.  We lived on Walbridge Avenue some years back, and were having the family Christmas party on a Saturday night.  I did NOT know what the hell I was doing, but everything seemed to be working.  I laid new tile down on the bathroom floor...and it looked good.  I went to re-install the toilet, and it wouldn't fit flush to the floor.  So, I grabbed some shims, tapped them in where the toilet met the floor, and all of a sudden...the commode disintegrated into 10's of thousands of pieces in a milisecond!!!  It resembled NOTHING of ANYTHING you'd relieve yourself in!!!  With 3hours until party time...I called my Dad, who WAS a plumber...and had to tell him what happened.  Anyway, my father had more names for me that I never heard of!!!  I had to borrow money from him to get a new commode and all the hardware.  We got to the home improvement store minutes before they closed, or we'd be going to the bathroom outside behind my garage!!!  My dad had my new toilet in 45 minutes prior to the party...and if it was not for my dad...the party would have had to be cancelled...which would have been sad after my wife and I took a week-and-a-half to prepare for...or relocated, which would have been just as sad!!!  My dad saved my ass that day!!!  Just one of thousands of times throughout my life!!!  My dad laughs from Heaven at this!!!  Love ya, dad...and thanks again!!!!!!!~(Grizzly)
