Jeff, I was struggling with the phone. It was an ITT K20 Wall that had to be modified for some reason. I'm thinking it was a rotary system and ITT didn't make a K-20in a wall model, so I had to take a K10, add a key strip and convert it to tone dial and put in a Tone to pulse converter (because then the numbers would be on the dial and not on the faceplate (where they'd be upside down)...

Anyway the bathroom was tiny - a sink and a bowl. And a phone and it was a pain in the butt. The CEO (who's office it was was breaking my chops about "couldn't I get the job done?" And I said -

"We can make the phone flush the toilet if you want it to!"

And he said - "Really?"

So we got a plumber in. I sent the plumber a 1 second burst of ground which tripped his relay that flushed the toilet and the CEO was happy.
