   We have one of the first ones to come out and it's a horror story. It   
   takes two to three flushes to clear it. My friend GB on the other hand   
   had one of the toilets containing a pressure tank and the thing will   
   geld you if you flush it while seated on the throne. My 63 Dodge was   
   safe because anyone seeing it coming got the heck out of my way. ^_^
