Yes, possible to clog further down the line. Drain snake
should help you snag and remove the towel.

Someone in the house who is not too bright accidentally
flushed a
towel down the toilet. Kind of like a "hand towel" or a
large
washrag. And they stupidly tried to use a plunger before
realizing it
was a towel stuck in there.

Anyway, any ideas on how we can get the towel out? Is
there some sort
of snake-like device with hooks or something that can
grasp onto the
towel?

The other toilets work, so at least the towel didn't go
TOO far.

You didn't say whether or not the toilet was clogged--is
it? If not, I
wouldn't sweat it; the towel will eventually clear your
drain.

If it is clogged, you're not going to get the towel out,
but probably
push it through with a snake.

Yes, it is clogged. Hmm, if I manage to push it through, is
it
possible that it could get stuck again further in the system
(like
maybe if there are narrower pipes)?
