use a snake, the plumbing kind not the live thing, and try to smash it up more so it goes through...

you need a snake for this job. i dunno about the boiling water, you might crack your toilet along with the spoon. that would be REALLY messy.

Remove the toilet. You will need a new wax ring to replace the old one. See if it's in the toilet or visible in the sewer line. Was your dishes in the sink.

Onc night on call at the hospital one of the residents tried to pass me the code pager after it had fallen in the toilet and she pulled it out. It was dripping and I was standing there holding it and wondering why.

ROTFLMAO!

I have this horrible memory of being constipated right before I was supposed to go with my family to some kind of event.

I wouldn't get out of the bathroom, and my mother and father were getting impatient with me.

Finally, my father pushed a spoon under the bathroom door and grumbled, "Here, use this!"

I think I was about 9 years old at the time. :p
