that darn cat
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt
that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no
matter
how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they
could
see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems:
the
water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets,
toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water
running downstairs. He finally got out of his sick bed to investigate,
and
stumbled onto the cause of the bills. Apparently this was happening all
day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe him,
he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity:
