You fail to sense the convenient similarities of being both an official and a plumber.
I often put up with a lot of ?%$* on the job during the day, I sometimes take a lot of ?%$* on the court at night. Easy transition from my day job to my night job.
And that ?%$* I'm talking about is my bread and butter.
Before you besmirch my beloved trade again, just remember -- every time you flush you put food on my family's table.
Next time you're sitting on the can reading your latest issue of Referee, maybe you'll be just a little more grateful for guys like me.
Don't degrade my trade. Better to say "Don't be a chemist from Connecticut about the rest."

Man, you really know how to stink up a forum!

You fail to see the difference. On your day job, you (sometimes) go looking for ****. As an official, we shouldn't do that.

There he goes, padding his posting totals again.

[Amesman]

Though in all fairness, this one was just three minutes after the one he was referring to.

[Amesman]

So no potshots about padding posting totals this time, OK?

[Adam]

Keep it up, Amesman, you'll get to 300 eventually.

Not a chemist, don't have all the academic credentials, but rather, an environmental chemical analyst. And it's also true for me. As long as people keep flushing, I'll always have a job.

Did you know that the element Lead's symbol Pb is an abbreviation of its Latin name plumbum. The English words "plumbing", "plumber", and "plumb-bob" also derive from this Latin root. Thus the infamous phrase: "I suggest that the crime was committed in the library by Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe."

As a licensed plumbing contractor who also taught high school Latin in a previous life, I especially appreciate your post. Though, I'd imagine, few others besides you and I would.

Amesman is just trying to stay ahead of Chseagle aka crowd control aka oos (scorekeeper)

Covered in both high school and college chemistry.

Yes.

Ooh, I like this game. Next question: what's the lightest naturally occurring radioactive element? (Hint: its name does NOT have a Latin root.)

A plumber attended to a leaking faucet at the neurosurgeon's house. After a two-minute job the plumber demanded $150.

The neurosurgeon exclaimed, 'I don't charge this amount even though I am a surgeon."

The plumber replied, "I agree, you are right. I too, didn't either, when I was a surgeon. That's why I switched to plumbing!"

Nor do I. Nor do I lick my finger before turning a page in a report. I go through about two dozen safety gloves each day. My family doctor has me vaccinated for diseases that I've never even heard of.
