    It actually is. A plunger works by pulling the blockage, not pushing it.

    You don’t want to shove whatever is blocking the pipe further in.

      Try telling that to my bowels when I eat my third breakfast steak and can’t remember what vegetables look like

        You’re still drawing the massive shit out of the pipes so it can further break up.

        Also, I think a poop knife is what’s been missing from your life.

          You’re too focused on the toilet: a secondary issue. I’m focused on the primary problem, which is cramming a meat knot so forcefully into my bowels that the only solution is to chase it with fiber powder mixed in hot butter.

          Although, you might have a point… You think a butt-plunger might be more efficient? Which side should I use to tackle the problem? I’m guessing sucky end for business and handle for party?

      Yes, but it only pulls up new shit, the old shit is long gone.

        It depends. Its pulling whatever the blockage is. Unless youre new shit is so stupendous that it clogged the toilet directly, the plunger is pulling “the old shit” as well.
