For those people out there (like myself) who have bad toilets that seem to get clogged by just about anything that goes down it, here's a solution. A new toilet plunger that looks similiar to the one we all use today, but, there's a plastic piece sticking out on the bottom. When you go to unclog the
toilet, the plastic piece would help break up whatever's clogging it up, while you plunge. It would be bendable, so that it could pass the first bend easily. For storage, you can fold the plastic piece up, and set the plunger back wherever you usually keep it.
A little how-to

I just got a really bad mental image of someone shoveling food into their mouths with a plunger... |

Make the shaft of the plunger hollow so the plastic piece can safely retract into it. |
|
| |
Maybe add a sound effects trigger mechanism, too. |
|
| |
I just got a really bad mental
image of someone shoving the
plunger somewhere besides a
toilet. |
|
| |
this is of course, because i had to
imagine an extension piece that is
long enough to reach through the
length of piping past the bowl, yet
sturdy enough not to break, and
untextured for easy cleaning.
naturally i am thinking of
something that lends itself well to
other activities. maybe there's
already a plunger fetish website. |

Well this just took a plunge for the worse. |
|

Hmmm. What about toothbrushes and lengths of Fisher Price Farm fence? For those things, you need a grabby hand. (I have toddlers) |

I have one of those toilets where a toothpick would clog it. |
|
| |
You regularly pass toothpicks in your bathroom leavings...? |
|
| |
No. What I meant was, ANYTHING that goes down it will clog it. A toothpick is a small object, that's why I used that as an example. |
|
| |
painfully I would imagine |
|
| |
//how *would* you pass a toothpick?// |

//how *would* you pass a toothpick?// |

by using your turn signals and waving to it |
|

|
| |
Use a two-handed sideways movement and impart a touch of spin, similar to passing a rugby ball. |
