Transcript:
Plumber: Wow... a doorbell! Wonder how it works... Man: What's going on? Woman: I came home to a flooded kitchen... Plumber: Everything's under control, sir! Man: What's the diagnosis? Plumber: Looks like you got a busted shuttlecock! Man: You mean, ball cock shutoff? Plumber: Well, that may be the fancy term for it... Man: But isn't a ball cock valve in a toilet? Plumber: Well, technically, I suppose. But a leak's a leak! Man: Wouldn't it help if you turn off the supply lines first? Plumber: Well, yeah, some elitist licensed plumber might do it that way, but I'd rather use good 'ol common sense! Man: You don't know a thing about plumbing, do you? Plumber: No, but I agree with you on abortion. Woman: He does, honey - I checked.
Brilliant.
