BYC Café

When I was in my first apartment, the power went out during a thunderstorm. The next morning, I called a friend and asked if I could flush the toilet.

Friend: (silence) Uh... yeah... why are you asking?

Me: Because the power's out.

Friend: So??? What does that have to do with flushing the toilet?

Me: (realizing that having city water was NOT the same as have a well and pump) When it went off at home, some people didn't have running water, because they had a pump on their well. We had an artesian well, so we didn't have to worry about that.

Friend: Yes, you have water. Don't worry.

Me: (feeling rather hayseedly dumb and wondering if I can find the turnip truck I seemed to have fallen off) Ok. Thanks.
