Plumbing the depths
In a plumbing emergency it is always a weekend. Only
one plumber in the yellow
pages will be ,*■5* answering the phone
and he will charge extra for off-hours visits and mileage.
A law somewhere states that this plumber will be the most expensive and least competent professional in the state. Which doesn’t bother you when you have just mopped primordial stuff historically accurate to an 1800s outhouse. Outside an alehouse.
You will eventually grow tired of calling the same fellow each day to redo the job, and you will call other professionals who will give you exactly the opposite solution but for exponentially more money. One will salivate as he offers to sell you a new fence after he takes a backhoe to your front yard. One will reduce his price by a third if you let him start that evening in the dark.
