I didn't know Fiddler on the Roof was based on stories.
All I know about it is that there is apparently a fiddler on a roof singing about tradition. And he's Jewish.

And don't forget the matchmaking. I would think you would know about that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Most of them were originally published in magazines, and then collected into several books. Basically, a series of short stories about Tevye and his wife and family and the other people in his town. Fiddler on the Roof took the basic characters, and several of the plots of the short stories became subplots of the musical, and stuck a happy ending on one that didn't have a happy ending, and kind of mixed and matched bits and pieces to make a coherent story.

Oh, of course. The matchmaking.

Oh, and the actual fiddler doesn't come from Sholom Aleichem at all -- he's from a Marc Chagall painting.

I don't totally remember the details, but in the stories, one of the daughters committed suicide.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I didn't know any of that about Fiddler on the Roof. Interesting.
Re unclogging drains, there's a flat long thin piece of plastic with "teeth" on it that you stick down the drain and then pull back out, and all the gooky stuff comes out with it. I think it's called a Zip-it. I bought it a Lowes.
