Here is a diagram of a toilet tank.
Now pay close attention to Number 4. See the chain?
Yeah?
Good.
The lever which is a rod extends from the handle to a chain (look again, it's number 4) that activates the flapper valve, hence completing the toilet flushing process.
Why all this information?
Because one Quirky Tween Son found an old toilet chain under the sink in the bathroom cabinet.
This old chain had been replaced with a sparkling new one in the "terlet" as Archie Bunker would say.
And... Quirky Tween Son decided to wear it as a BRACELET to school.
I'm still laughing.
B.S. No terlets were harmed during the production of this post. One Quirky Tween Son ego was shattered, but oh well.

OMG...heheheh teenagers....this is so damn cute..you should post a picture of his wrist with that chain :)
Ho, ho, ho. I'd better not tell you what I used the old over flow tube for.
And you know what a person can do with an old float ball?
Now that is original, and will probably catch on like wildfire..and and you can claim all of the revenue and call it the "Quirky Chain"...Id buy one..LOL..!
Way to go, QS1! Rockin' that toilet chain!
"S'long's he don't go to school with the float ball stuck in front of his undies, you're good. Or in the back - even worse in the back!
The Old Silly
What smart children you have. no, really. And you really made my new glasses go to work trying to see that number 4 part. Is this your old chain or the previous owner's? Inquiring minds want to know.
@LazyPineapple Are you kidding? As soon as I told him what it was, he jerked it off and he will NEVER be wearing it again. LMBO! At least he laughed with me! hee hee
@Gregory I'm afraid, very afraid.
@Robin Well, if you're REALLY interested, I have one ready to go! hee hee hee
@Catlady What can I say? Jewelry NEVER had this much appeal to me when I was his age. Gah.

@Mamaface Ack! Sorry, I tried to make it larger, but then it got all pixelated! Darn graphics! You can go by FAITH in me that it's a chain! hee hee hee *smooch*
A pin in his ear AND a toilet chain around his wrist?
Run, QuirkyTween, run!!!
LOL ;-)
P.S. By the way, is there any chance QuirkyTween is your mother's revenge?
@MeMe Hee hee hee. Actually, I didn't become evile until around 17-18 yrs of age. So he's running a little ahead of me. Ahem. hee hee
So when you find you can't flush the toilet, you'll know why.
And WHY was the old chain hanging around under the sink?
Let's blame Quirky Hubby!
;-)
quirky : You have been given an award.Please find the details on my blog :)
At least the chain was from the clean part of the toilet water!
OMG...well, this younger generation is all about being "green" and recycling.
I would turn green if I found out I was wearing a toilet bowl piece.
Gack!
This is how fashion trends get started! Pretty soon he'll be wearing a lampshade and maybe a clothespin in his nose. That's stylin!
