Friday Wisdom — Plumbing

Posted on 04/19/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

Well, you saw the irrigation trench. Pipes go into that trench which means I did a bit of plumbing too. So here’s everything I know about plumbing:

What kind of vegetables do plumber refuse to buy? Leeks.

What happens when a plumber falls asleep? They have pipe dreams.

What do you get when you cross a jeweler with a plumber? A ring around the bathtub.

What is a great give for a plumber? A pipe cleaner.

The police reported that someone stole the toilet from the station. They have nothing to go on.

Did you hear about the depressed plumber? He thought his career was going down the toilet.

What two words make a plumber simile? Overtime pay.

Why are plumbers always tired? Their job is draining.

What one bad habit do plumbers not have? Biting their nails.

What did the plumber say at the poker table? A royal flush is better than a full house.

    I really liked pipe dreams. “Nothing to go on” is kinda gross but still funny. Their job is draining is also quite clever. Lots of good ones, Andrew!

    “… nothing to go on” (groan). Now that you mention it, I never thought to wonder what pipes the pipe cleaners were designed to clean. As far as my childhood was concerned, pipe cleaners were simply materials for art projects.

      At one time in the dim past, they actually cleaned tobacco pipes, but then they were discovered by elementary school teachers who fundamentally changed the use of pipe cleaners. Does anyone smoke a pipe these days?
