For real


















At long last, I can give up one of my most-despised household chores, the dreaded toilet scrubbing. Who knew all I needed was a magnet in my tank? I’m wondering if my magnetic thinking putty might want to get in on this action…that would really give it something to think about, huh? I’m sparing the putty for now. A few minutes ago I walked up to my refrigerator, plucked off my least favorite magnet—an ad for my local drugstore—and tossed it into the toilet tank in the master bathroom. That’s it, right? I’ve scrubbed it for the last time. I’m done! Maintenance free dance!

However, I detect a hint of false advertising in this photo. My magnet did not display sunlike rays of magnetic force. And even when I’ve done my scrubbiest scrubbing, my toilet water has never been such a pool-like aqua-blue, even when I had that one apartment with the pool-like aqua-blue toilet. My toilet water has also never, ever sparkled, so I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but with pictures like this, it’s really hard to self-contain.
