1. A plastic frog
My daughter flushed a plastic frog down the toilet when she was a toddler. Cost us close to $500 to deal with because the plumber had to dig up the pipe to find where the blockage was. And that was years ago - can't imagine what it would cost now. :scared:

5. This probably goes without saying:
Don't flush Jesus down the toilet. He won't fit past the snake-joint between the bowl and the sewage line.

My youngest brother, when he was a kid, got mad at my mother (God only knows why he'd do something like that.) on Christmas Eve and as revenge decided he was going to flush the baby Jesus out of the creche down the toilet.

Not only did it clog-up and we had to find an extremely-talented plumber who would come out on Christmas. She made him kiss it after they retrieved it. (She washed and sanitized it first, but we only found that out years later.)

12. A leather attache case. Don't flush that. Or scissors. Flushing scissors is bad.
Salt and pepper shakers - well, that's iffy. Depends on your water pressure.
