"Our toilet is haunted - BY A PLUMBER'S GHOST!"

They say his spirit causes their john to smoke, gush water and burst into flames all by itself. They also claim to have seen his face in the bowl.

Afraid to use their own toilet, the Sterns decided to call Terry Shawn, a professional ghostbuster who confirmed the authenticity of the ghost. Shawn says that although getting rid of the ghost could take either weeks or months, the Sterns appear to be taking the situation in stride.

Stupid yuppies make big bucks and live like hoboes!

Real hoboes are people without very much money who live a nomadic existence riding trains illegally from one place to another.
