Why you dont flush paperclips

So I decided to check the flush valve on the toilet. However, when I did, nothing happened. I attempted to ignoree this fact, but my need to pee soon overpowered my sheer and utter terror at the thought of tearing apart the whole john. I jumped in with both hands and was committed to the... actual human feces on my hands... no antibacterial soap... im going to catch the hanta virus and die. The thing is, in order to remove the motor from the toilet you have to disassemble entire thing. Once the motor was removed I discovered what the source of the problem was. What could it possibly be you ask?

Lets just say if you flush a paperclip down a marine toilet and it stops flushing, dont continue to use it.
