"Da Coach" Ditka urges toilet flushing discipline

Twenty years ago, legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was leading the "Monsters of the Midway" to victory in Super Bowl XX.

Now "Da Coach" is advising viewers of this Sunday's Super Bowl XL to watch their toilet usage. Hey, it's an honest living.

From NBC 5 Chicago:

Ditka has been hired by Scott Tissue to urge Americans to stagger their trips to the bathroom during halftime of the Super Bowl.

"It's better known as the 'Great Halftime Flush,'" Ditka said during the commercial. "It's equal to all the water which tumbles over Niagara Falls in seven minutes.

Ditka is also promoting a Web site, which has tips on preventing clogged toilets.

"The Halftime Flush -- that's very serious business," Ditka said. "I mean, you've got 90 million Americans flushing toilets. You could have a tragic clogging problem in America."

Okay, you've all been warned.
