It's a trick, don't claim it. He's just seeing who will try to claim his pipe.

I suspect you’re joking but if you’re not, why would he do that? I think this is as real and good natured as it appears.

Pretty sure it’s a joke

 

[RPK]

It’s not a joke! Just trying to be helpful !

 

[InWithBothFeet]

Twas merely a joke... Good luck finding the owner.. ok, back to my nap.

I think they meant in with both foots or whatever their screen name is.
My question is what happens if we don't find the owner? Is anyone else going to assume they went over the damn with the pipe too? Or is it just me?

Here is a link to the Fly Fishing Forum I belong to where the lost pipe was posted in the Pipe Smokers/Collectors thread.

I’m sure you know one possibly more of those who post(ed) there.

Apropos of nothing, I once lost a fully-loaded pipe down the loo. I prepped it and put it on top of the flat-top cistern while I went into battle. I flushed with vigour and the pipe flew into the air and straight into the bowl, rotated a few times in the flushing water and disappeared around the u-bend! Never to be seen again.

Lesson learned. If you prep a pipe and need a shit, keep the pipe in your mouth. If the business gets arduous, relocate pipe somewhere away from WC; that way any straining accompaniment will not expel said pipe onto the floor. Also, if you strain so hard you pass out and collapse, the item will not go down your throat and choke you. Collapse will be embarrassing enough. Being found with pipe in your gullet will raise questions (and eyebrows).

This should be pinned.

LOL, more astounded at the thought of someone putting their pipe on a toilet with the plan being to then put that mouthpiece in their mouth regardless of any "mission".

So you're saying the owner definitely went over the dam?

This made me wonder what the chances would be if somebody did the same but in airplane, whilst flying over table rock dam.

Also, good story : I will never rest my phone on top of my cistern ever again!

I learned about “toilet plume” many years ago and always close the lid before flushing. This relatively recent video might have many of you changing your practices, too:

I’ve kept my toothbrush uncovered in the bathroom for years.

I’m also not terrified of the millions of dust mites that are currently inhabiting our pillows.

My body has kept it all at bay for decades. Amazing machine.

So you're saying the owner definitely went over the dam?

the only question is was it an accident or made to look like an accident. At the moment I think he was trying to rescue the pipe.
Side note I've hurt myself once in a fall because my instinct was to not harm the pipe, normally my instinct is to not hurt myself. Even enough so to end up with only tiny scratches when wrecking on my bike.

I wonder if DB Cooper lost his pipe.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

I wonder if DB Cooper lost his pipe.

I can ask his son for you. LOL
I live not far from where some suspect DB Cooper jumped from the airplane, and there is a crazy guy in town with a RV that has signs all over it saying he's DB Cooper's son. He has a shirt that he wears as well, and he tells people he's DB Cooper's son while doing stuff in town, so I could ask for you. LOL
