Well, the uptake on that is someone will
sit down there to take a dump and the whole
sturmondramg 'll fall through into the room
below, and proper repairs can commence.

Similar scenario almost played out in 1948
at the White House: Pres Truman almost
made an unscheduled appearance in the
East Room at some cotillion his wife was
throwing directly below the executive suite.
The wood was dangerously rotted below his
tub!

When it was made clear that entire floors
of the White House were in danger of
collapsing, the Presidency was relocated
temporarily while a full steel frame
renovation was conducted.
