When I took apart the aerator, there was a frikkin' ACORN

Get out! Did it have a tap root started?

The strangest item I found was in a "bowl rim" -- a syringe hidden by
a drug addict the had gotten past the tank flapper and into the rim.

Only way I found was that when I had to tank off, to fix the tank

Nosed pliers and into the history books.
