So a few days ago, the sewer department came around and passed out notices that they would soon be “smoking the sewers” (whatever the hell that means) and there’s a chance that smoke could enter the house — so don’t be alarmed.
Now, Shane and I are always trying to “fool” each other, for lack of a better word…. so today the sewer smoking began. He left for work before it started and I ran to the store.
He calls me on the cellphone and says, “I just got home and I think the basement is on fire, there’s smoke everywhere!!!!”
Just then my cellphone dropped the call.
I thought for a second… silent maniacal laughter filled mind… then I dialed the phone….
He picks up the phone and I frantically say…. “I just called the fire department they should be there shortly!”
Then each of us had a good laugh as he said he was kidding about the smoke and I said I was about the fire department.

@brian,
THere was no stink to it that I could smell, but it was kinda cool to watch it come out of the sewer grates along the street. (I’m easily amused, lol)
I’ve never heard of smoking the sewer lines. Weird.

@Nezzy,
OHMYGOSH that is soooo funny! Stomach of steel!
I have never heard of sewer smoking? I can’t even begin to imagine why. But I LOVE the practical jokes!
The city trucks were out yesterday clearing out all the sewer lines in our neighborhood. I guess they do it once a year. My 21-month-old car/truck obsessed son made me stand outside forever so he could watch them. Must be that time of year! I think it would’ve been a lot cooler to have the lines smoked, though, and to pull one over on my husband to boot.
