“Everyone’s an atheist until they clog a toilet at someone else house.—Sun Tzu” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. It’s embarrassing to need help to clean up the stinky mess, and people pray that the toilet will flush. Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer Sun Tzu is widely quoted from his book The Art of War, but he died in 496 BC—long before modern clogged toilets. Having this historical figure say this is part of the joke.

Wikipedia: Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu (/suːn ˈdzuː, suːn ˈsuː/ soon DZOO, soon SOO; simplified Chinese: 孙子; traditional Chinese: 孫子; pinyin: Sūnzǐ) was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. It focuses much more on alternatives to battle and even to war than on war itself, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit, and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes. Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure.

…I do not think this is an actual quote that I can attribute to Sun Tzu, primarily because toilets as we know them weren’t invented yet, you know with living in the 6 century and all, however it’s not going to stop me from sharing it, because it’s to funny not to share! 😂
