The Trouble With Johny

Yesterday morning was soo exciting. Red awakened me with the most tender "honey the tub
isn't draining" Yeah! So 20 minutes later, after a fierce battle in the tub with my
trusty Scepter (the big blue plunger that looks like something from the movie "Flash
Gordon") I decided it was really more than I could handle. Needless to say buying a
drain snake at Lowes after work stroked my Joe the Plumber fantasy, but that was all the
satisfaction I was able to get from the deal. Got nothin' bupkas zilch. But I am
man enough to realize when i'm whipped. Besides, 3's Birthday Party
is only 23 hours later. Red is frantic. So I call in my troops...Hometec Handyman...
these guys are great. Showed up at 6:30 on a rainy Friday night, and stayed with the
job till it was done at 8:45. Red and I had a very long discussion with 3 about the
importance of not flushing balls....no matter how nasty Daisey made them...
down the toilet. I hope to God he gets it. We po, an' caint aford many more $420
daiseyballectomies.
