Brave Heart,
Do you have chewing gum afixed to one of the drain holes?

If so,

FYI, the replacement rubber drains are cheap through Sunset.

You could rent a pipe bender from Home Depot and bend that baby back, I'll bet.

How dare you !!! -- AS if I would use chewing gum !!!! .... Actually its that stuff you use to stick posters to wals etc -- In the UK its colored blue and we call it Blu Tack -- Here its yellow but its not called yello tack -- Do you think the color clashes ??? -- Maybe I should look for Blac Tack
