Minor technical point: The plunger shown is for sinks. A toilet plunger has a conical projection on the bottom that goes into the… toilet hole I guess.I worked as a custodian in the Birmingham MI schools and plunger types were strictly segregated so the toilet type didn’t get into a sink and contaminate it.

John Harington invented the toilet, but Crapper was the plumber/salesman that made it popular.

The Minoans, I think, invented the flush toilet; but the secret was lost.

Flush toilets were used in ancient Roman times too. But the Minoans seemed to beat them at that too. Just like with the wide roads.

For a young guy, Frazz is wise.

The whole “Naming something after the person who made it popular” thing worked for The Earl of Sandwich, too!

Considering the parameters of his daily job, it’s not surprising Frazz would have that information at his ‘fingertips.’
