My first house was from the 1930s and had undergone many questionable and no-doubt unpermitted upgrades. Whomever added the 2nd story ran the waste pipe for the bathroom through the coat closet in the livingroom down below. It ran straight down through the closet then did a 90 degree turn to horizontal in the crawlspace just below the closet floor. When sitting on the livingroom sofa if someone flushed a big turd upstairs you could hear it hit bottom in the elbow down below the closet floor. My roommate used to yell "Bombs away" before flushing if he knew I was in the livingroom.
