Help! My New Client Has A Fish N’ Flush!
Published January 2nd, 2007 in Humor.
Usually I have no problem. Most of my clients have outstanding taste, and they either have used the services of a professional decorator or they could come pretty close to being one. But sometimes I get “one of those”.
I admit, I am at a loss. My new clients have a decorating issue that I just don’t know how to address. I can’t find the words to tell them “that has got to go.” I am fairly plain spoken, even with people that I am just meeting for the first time. My personal feeling is that if I don’t tell them about something that I think might slow down a sale or turn off potential buyers, then I am not doing what they are hiring me to do.
But some times I come across things that I don’t know how to deal with. People take their family pets seriously. I get that. Call me crazy, but I think my prospect’s Fish n’ Flush just might be a distraction.Yes, folks, the Fish n’ Flush is real. You can buy them on line. Should you decide it’s a MUST HAVE and a great use of your extra Christmas cash, please remember you’ll have to take it out before you put your home on the market. We would not want the buyers to fall in love with your pet’s luxurious home.
Kudos to Norm Fisher, for finding the Fish n’ Flush and eradicating it from his listings in Saskatoon.
I previously published this on my ActiveRain blog, where the Realtors found it funny. In case you are wondering, I don’t really have a client with a Fish N’ Flush. I just wanted to find a way to use it in a blog. Check out their web site with your speakers turned up. If you find yourself wanting one, don’t blame me.

How much is the house? I want to write an offer.
No, not really because then I’d have to live in Michigan where it’s cold, but that thing is COOL!
Glad you liked it, John. I am not sure if your now deleted post was sarcastic? Why is it gone?
Brilliant! Iwant one!
It’s back again. I wanted something more real-estatey on top of the page is why I took it down, but now it’s back and what’s above it is not much better.
I’m not sure if it was sarcastic either, but if I find out, I’ll let you know. On the one hand, web 2.0 really sucks, but on the other hand, I really do like Fish N Flush. It could go either way, I suppose. Which again is why Web 2.0 sucks — the author himself doesn’t even have to know or care what his intent is, as long as he never stops typing.
Hey! You beat Zillow by 10 days!

Way more than that, Jay. This was a repost from something I did on AR on December 26.

Two thoughts….
1. You got to think at least some goldfish got accidentally flushed when they were building the first models.
2. Some dumb bassard is going to want topical fish. Meaning heated water. Meaning electricity contected to the toilet. Murphy’s Law being what it is….
