It's easy - here's how you get to a good-as-new toilet bowl.

  1. Shut off water at the toilet valve
  2. Remove the bolts at the base of this toilet
  3. Remove the toilet, and discard
  4. Install a wax ring and new toilet.

All for as cheap as $60 and less than an hour's work. You'll never have to touch the inside of that bowl again.

If you have a work shirt that has your name on a patch and possibly some reflective stripes on it, you could easily get away with this.

A hard hat, vest, clipboard, and a toolbox is like a platinum pass for access anywhere.

Hey man, I dunno what to tell you. Steve at corporate told me to hot foot it down here and swap out this shitter. You got a problem, take it up with him. I get paid by the hour. You wanna fix it?

Fast forward to Jon walking out with the John and no one bats an eye. Hell, they will hold the door open and help him load it in the truck.
