Everywhere the sun touches, but no matter how many you have they will never smooth out to resemble a tan.
If I spend enough time in the sun I go from white with brown spots to resembling brown with white spots.
the thing is that while most people only experience 1 or 2 emotions at a time it seems that she experiences them all at once and is able to effectively handle them leaving her in a state of perpetual calm: basically she has reached nirvana or at least as close as a human can get to it
Well, if the phone is old and noisy and bolted to the wall, the vibrations from the ringing bells could get the toilet to flush if it was trigger-happy.
That’s the best I can do. As mentioned above, it is an interesting problem. 😀
So, my potential theory: The phone ringing causes the house/apartment water pump to turn back on (electrical short), while the toilet has a slightly leaky seal between the tank and the bowl – it holds up normally but when the tank is overfilled by the running water pump (due to another leaky seal), it flushes.
I must have spent waay too long in the darker crevices of the Internet. My 1st thought when I read this comic was: “Wow, what a badly installed toiletcam. Though I suppose using the phone line for power and data is a more efficient than the usual battery powered wireless for a permanent installation. Still, I’m surprised that apartment manager hasn’t been arrested yet.”
Do all older places have quirks like this? My house has a switch that I couldn’t figure out what it was for for the first three years I lived here, then I plugged a lamp into this one plug and got nothing. After going through my breaker box and talking to my electrician friend, who had no idea and was talking about pulling out the wall boards. I saw the switch, thought “what the hell”, and flipped it. The lamp came on and i learned that that switch has the mighty purpose of turning on one random plug in my living room.
It’s not just older houses. A lot of houses have switched outlets for lamps. Drives my family nuts. I grew up living on military bases, so every room had a ceiling fixture so they’d have to pay to ship as many lamps around when you got restationed. The first time we moved into a house with no ceiling fixtures in the bedrooms, I didn’t even notice that it wasn’t there; I just couldn’t figure out why it didn’t turn on.
That girl is far too peppy! -_-
Toilet flushes every time the phone rings? That is an interesting problem.
It’s an electrical toilet
Don’t they have them high-tech toilets in Japan or South Korea?
Man, she has freckles EVERYWHERE!

The phone rings when the toilet flushes? Don’t you know that’s NATURE CALLING 😀
ow…. bad
Our Jaqueline is probably one of the most practical optimists I’ve ever heard of.

that is how I percieve it anyway but I might just be thinking of Tina
it fits for both of them
Gee, with me the phone rings every time my butt hits the toilet…. 😛
Ok someone explain to me HOW A TOILET FLUSHES WHEN THE PHONE RINGS. How are the WATER and PHONE LINES connected?!?

That makes ZERO SENSE if that was the case the toilet would flush from people having CRAZY SEX in the building NEXT DOOR!!
How do you know it doesn’t?

…Maybe that’s a little too Robinson Goldberg-y
…blimey, you a plumber or something?
Also, the name is Rube Goldberg.

I fail as a human being. I blame anime.
No, you wouldn’t have to figure that out. You just hire a plumber and an electrician and have them figure it out!
