For those of you who are not electricians or tradesmen and possibly didn't understand my response, in the electrical trade when they are installing long runs of conduit they often use a little foam plug called a "Bird". The bird is inserted into the end of a conduit along with a small roll of string with the opposite end of the string attached to the starting end. They then use high pressure air to shoot the foam plug through the conduit and once it comes out the other end they can use the string to pull a rope through, which they will then use to pull the wires into the conduit.

Funny. I never heard of this before.
