    Toilet bowl
    How can I get a cell phone out of my toilet that was accidentally flushed? I can feel it wedged in the very back of the bowl. I have used a wire coat hanger and even tried hitting it with a hammer, but it won't budge. Please help me!

    First put the hammer away unless you really want a new toilet. The toilet has a double S in its drain and the phone is likley stuck early on. Your coat hanger idea is a good one, keep trying. Don't use the hook end. Grab it by the hook and in the ecnter of where the pants hang and pull apart. Make it a long double piece of wire and then bend the end over making a J. This should do it and obviously don't flush anything down until this is cleared.
