Nobody disrespects plumbing contractors more than themselves.
At least a dozen people have e-mailed me a photo of a plumbing contractor's truck that is bound to turn heads as it makes its way around town. On the driver's door is painted a chest-down image of a man with pants pulled down sitting on a toilet. The live driver, shown from chest up smiling and waving through an open window, completes the picture, making it look as if he's the one sitting on the can. I'm sure many of you have seen the same jpeg. It seems to have ricocheted around the Internet as much as Paris Hilton's sex life.
You'd have to be dead not to laugh at the ridiculous image, and I'm glad to confirm I'm very much alive. Yet, mine were chuckles tinged with guilt for finding humor in what's really a sad situation.
