That plumber oughta be hired by a network to do political commentary

That is not as preposterous as it might seem.

Ever wonder why plumbers cost so much when you call them to your home?

It's because THEY'RE DAMN SMART! Especially in the days before plastic pipes, it was no snap to make pipes go where you wanted them to. Figuring out angles and lengths in very close quarters, and having it function perfectly for years is a difficult proposition.

I know this because once I tried to make a handrail out of steel pipes and a series of elbows. The project had already defeated my brother, and nearly defeated me.

The elbows just don't point in the right direction unless you're a good plumber. It's that simple.
