Joe The Plumber (2/26/2010)

A few months ago, DW decided that all of the bathroom faucets needed to be replaced. No problem for me, I’m saying, go for it W -- there are people that do that for a living and could use the work.

SD ordered the faucets from Moen.

When they arrived. Joe, can you install them?

W -- I know Computer crap, Networking crap, IT crap, Satellite crap, Communications crap -- but I dun’t know anything about Plumbing crap. From across the room I could tell that DW didn’t like my reply.

If the damn faucets issue wasn’t bad enough, in one of the bath rooms, the thingy that switches from bath water to shower water wasn’t working. So, now I’m up against two plumbing problems. GAWDDDDDDDDD!

In my experience, the She-Devil will only lay-low for so long then all frig'n hell breaks lose.

This morning, hell came to town.

The evil-one was moody. I have seen that movie before and it’s not fun to watch. I get the silent treatment, curt cutting words, intense eyes, biting condemnations.

Joe! You have one hour to get going on those plumbing jobs or your life will become pure-d hell.

W, how will I tell the difference?

She becomes a fire breathing dragon.

Okay, Pat, I’ll go to the hardware store and get the stuff to do those plumbing jobs.

Nice, hun. I’ll drive and let you off at the door so you don’t have to walk so far.

Thanks, W -- but at this point I’d rather suffer more.

No, silly. I’ll drop my man off at the front door.

I have been completely disarmed. What can I do? I say what every other married man would say -- thank you bay-beee.

Did I mention that I hate love crap?

Back home ...

Dwal’n which project do you want me to do first?

Fix the shower.

45 minutes later. W, I’m done with the shower.

OOOOOOOOOOO nice Job, Joe -- it works fine now.

Doing a good job on something you hate is not to my liking. Take me now Lord.

Thanks, W -- I’ll start on the faucets.

Two hours later. Dwal’n! I finished one faucet if ya wanna take a look.

Oh Joe! That looks great.

I say, "thanks to my lovely wife".

I now have four more faucets to install. Folks, I’m still in search of a safe house. Can ya help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
