Don't your toilets flush in the opposite direction as well? ;)

Creative, out of the box and a fine tie.

Mm

In a smaller size that would make a decent Pink Lady fly. A comercial tyer I know used hair from his wife's Champagne Poodle for his personal PL fly dubbing. ;) Would probably work well on a Tups! ;)
