Good for you, Sundae. A lesser person would have cowered in fear.

I recently in life discovered the trick of pouring water from a bucket into a plugged toilet instead of plunging. It's much easier and less yucky. You get a full bucket of water, hold it at shoulder height, and just pour steadily and fairly quickly right onto the clog. The water blasts it right through. Breaks up the clog and forces it down through the trap. And no plunger that might require cleaning. Obviously, this technique isn't such a good idea if the bowl is already on the verge of overflowing.
