Unrelated subject, sorta: In my last job I worked for a pain-in-the-ass account executive who encouraged the creative team to, "flush out an idea." I wanted to tell her that the correct usage is to "flesh out an idea", that it to say put some meat on the bones. But I didn't because it gave me a great deal of delight to see this arrogant woman repeat this mistake again and again and again.

Toilet humor?
The morality of this commercial mystifies me. Not because the guy is shown as a jerk, so turned on by an attractive female plumber that he's willing to destroy his own plumbing system (lots of commercials show men as idiots); but because he's obviously living with an attractive woman we assume to be his wife. So what was his game plan: a quickie over the sink and hope that wifie didn't hear him groan? Or his he so sexually starved it's worth it to just look at a hot plumber working, even at $80.00 an hour? Either way, it's really dumb. But even worse, I don't believe for a minute that the john wouldn't have clogged up from all that crap. After all a Kohler toilet doesn't come with a complete plumbing system. Okay, so you think it's a funny commercial. I think it's a concept that should have been flushed.
