Will it Flush?

(Being an Homage to David Letterman's "Will it Float?")

Since PE moved into her modest superheroess accommodations, MSG has become accustomed to small mysteries not attributable to her own magnetic gifts occurring on a regular basis. It must have something to do with PE's superhero magnetic field strenghthened over the years by too many flights around Alterno World and sitting too close to his tv. MSG's particular prowess at puzzle solution has been developed from following the classic writings of Carolyn Keene in the Nancy Drew mysteries and deciphering remote control operation for PE.

Because MSG laughs in the face of many puzzles that tax the minds of such greats as Einstein, the aforementioned Hitchcock, the genius who invented the upside down ketchup/catsup bottle, and the great William Clinton(who is still conjugating the verb "is" for answers to its mysterious meaning), she was caught up short recently to find something floating in the great white porcelain superhero/ess convenience bowl. MSG found herself starring in amazement at the object floating on the water (which is an example of supreme bodily function control as the aging body part that had brought her to this contemplative situation was making a supreme demand at that moment). She thought as she starred, "is that...a toothpick? and what is a toothpick doing in the great white porcelain superhero/ess convenience bowl?"

By this time the bodily function control of the aging body part that had brought her to this contemplative situation was losing ground and she had to assume a sitting position. But the gray matter continued to process. Then, all of a sudden, like Archimedes of old, MSG shouted, "Eureka!". PE, still prone to experiment after all these years, had dropped the toothpick in the great white porcelain superhero/ess convenience bowl in order to discover if the swirling water would carry away the fragile wooden implement, thus inventing the game of "Will it flush?".

(Fans will be relieved to know that unlike Archimedes of old, MSG demurred to run naked through Alterno World. )
