If you can believe it, My disposal got jammed up by a flying bolt. This is just too funny not to share. The other night, I was making some hot tea. We have a whistling kettle. The tops fit tight so the pressure can build and make the noise. There is a small nut and bolt that holds on the handle and it was a bit loose. Just my luck! I pull the top and everything flies out and falls apart. Every little bit was located with the exception of that last bolt. Too tired to keep going, I left it alone and went to bed. In the morning I started doing my dishes and found that my disposal was jammed up. Fixing this was an adventure I did not want to start that morning. I left it for a few days until another time.
As I thought more about this, it occurred to me that it might be that little bolt stuck in there. Sure enough, it turned out like a Seinfeld episode. That little bolt found itself free from its resting place and magically decided to fly over my head, across the kitchen, and right down the drain! Flashlight and wrench in hand, I went to work. I wiggled the disposal free and my little cursed screw jumped out and showed itself proudly. I hope you have more fun reading this, than I had experiencing it. Have a great Day!
