Subject: Adding to the bean story
I worked at a large hotel next to State University. We often had groups of scientist and biologists. In one of our sinks there grew a plant. It was a very fast growing plant. The cleaning ladies would pull it up and break it off. Evidently they could not pull it all out.
Every few days we would get a comment card stating that the room was perfectly clean except for the plant in the sink. We could not conceive of a plant that kept growing up from the sink drain.
Finally maintenance had to take the pipe apart and remove the plant from the elbow joint. Never did know what kind on plant it was just that it was stubborn and fast.
