discuss.

where can i buy one and how much?

Seems....high risk....

making my own... going to be sweet~! calling it a poong

you use these if you get trapped by fire. instead of suffocating on smoke, you suffocate on s*** fumes.

It's for inland countries, like the Czech Republic, and Canberra (lol?), where it's tough to get to the sea...

where do you put the bud?

lolololol

more importantly: where is he snorkeling to?

This is a patented invention called Toilet Snorkel. It allows you to breathe sewer air instead of smoke in case of a fire that blocks all escape routes from your apartment. Here are the instructions: when there is a fire and you are unable to escape in time, stay inside your bathroom, breathe fresh air from the sewage pipe until firemen are able to break in and save you from the burning inferno. If you happen to suck in any solid object into your mouth, don’t panic, simply spit it out and continue breathing.

U.S. Patent issued 1982

"Fresh Air"

If you happen to suck in any solid object into your mouth, don’t panic, simply spit it out and continue breathing.

wut?

hmm suffocation by smoke inhalation or drowning in human effluent.

tough choice.

If it came with some sort of magazine rack, I'd get one.

If you are in a toilet and all your exits are blocked I'd say your chances for survival are limited - with or without sewer air.

i think instead of that ill just grab my scuba tank and regs and breath fresh air thanks very much.

I don't think its a bad idea at all considering that the sewer pipe vents to atmosphere on the roof of your house anyway.

yeah great u jus got to get to the snorkel in the fkn loft in the garage or something lol. it wont be kept beside the workbench for sure

yes, fresh compressed air

I'd just "Tommy Gavin" it and bail through a wall of fire to safety

it doesn't solve the problem of burning to death though.

though presumably that could be solved by pissing on yourself.

Tommy Gavin doesn't burn

I thought it was a tube for people to steal my toilet water.

eww

That would be a s***ty fire drill.

Damn right!

Also, this cross section is of an American toilet...it would need modifications for Australian toilet compliancey.

yeah doesn't mean that you won't inhale sewergas (which can be deadly aswell) because the vent can be 10 metres away...
