No not the cute movie, but this:
"These pipes are not designed to carry bras and knickers" whistle:
Northumbrian Water spokeswoman noooo:
he company has now urged residents to think carefully about what they flush away.
'Offending items'
A spokeswoman said: "If the underwear had not been flushed down the toilet, this would not have happened. It was very irresponsible behaviour.
"When we dug down to inspect the damage, we found a bra and knickers had snagged itself across the nine-inch diameter of the pipe.
"There was also a heavy build-up of grease and fat, which contributed to the situation. We were forced to repair a 2m section of sewer and a 10m section of road was affected.

So the rest of the body mostly went through, just the underwear was left.

Umm... I wonder if those 'items' somehow ended up in the 'wrong' house and needed disposal - fast!

Funny ~ That was my first thought.
We cant go on together
With suspicious minds
And we cant build our dreams
On suspicious minds
It's a bit like the old joke about two guys in the changing rooms at the Rugby club and one says "Hey Taff ~ How long you bin wearing girls knickers then?"
"Ever since the wife found 'em in me car" drumroll:
