   Two toilet stories and anagrams associated with them:   
      
   Gracie Henderson, from New Caney, Texas, didn't have a plunger when her   
   toilet became clogged.  Rather than resort to ringing a plumber, she   
   tried to clear the blockage by hand.  She hadn't removed her   
   wristwatch first, however, and soon resorted to ringing the emergency   
   services to report that it had caught on something in the bowels of   
   the toilet.  While her neighbours looked on and videoed the proceedings,   
   firefighters removed the commode from its fixings and carried it   
   outside.  A little force from a sledgehammer then freed Henderson's   
   arm.   
      
     Gracie Henderson = Goner's reached in...   
     Gracie Henderson ~ chose 'drain' genre.   
     Gracie Henderson = 'Er, done searching?'   
      
      
   The one with not as good an anagram (from me anyway):   
      
   When Montana's Gilbert Kalonde was applying for a state fishing   
   licence, the Wal-Mart worker handling the transaction asked him to   
   state his profession.  Kalonde responded by showing the worker his   
   Montana State University identification card.  When the licence was   
   issued, it did not list him 'Assistant Professor of Technology   
   Education'; his occupation had been recorded as toilet-cleaner.   
     Describing this database entry as exposing him to 'hatred, contempt,   
   ridicule', Kalonde has filed a libel suit for unspecified damages in   
   Gallatin County District Court.   
      
     Doctor Gilbert Kalonde   
   must have accidentally shown the worker his   
     broken-toilet gold card
