Why won't it flush?

So my husband finally came home from a 5 week course and all of the sudden the toilet stops working! LOL! It's funny to me because usually how the universe works something breaks down when he's gone.

So we call Housing, we live in Private Married Quarters (PMQ). When something breaks down we call them.

While I'm on the phone with the Housing lady, she asks me if the chain has come off the back of the toilet.

Really?

I've lived in apartments on my own and have fixed many things around my house because it usually takes forever for Housing to come over, so do you think I would be calling you if the chain had fallen off? We need a plumber!

And for the first time EVER they arrived at my house in less than 30 minutes. My pizzas don't arrive at my house in that kind of time! I'm impressed!

He goes in to inspect the damage and then goes out and gets a mini camera to see what the problem is. Fancy equipment for a plumber, again I'm impressed ( it must have been a long time that something has impressed me to be so interested by plumbing equipment).

Well to keep this short, my son flushed my daughter's baby comb in the toilet. I should have listened to him when he mentioned it a couple of days ago but everything seemed fined so I wasn't worried....

Or maybe it was in the back of my head that my husband was coming home and I wanted him to get the experience of what it's like when something break down around here.

Maybe....
