mother ALWAYS trumps the likes of yelp and...well just about any other review/referral/recommendation possible. besides, who knows plumbing better than an old lady knitting in a rocking chair? nicely played, o'connell plumbing. nicely played.
and speaking of elderly things...
my aunt wendi stumbled upon this gem at her local zoo. i can just picture the conversation that led to this announcement:
zoo worker (picture this guy just for fun): umm... sir? everyone keeps asking why we have a dead goose
boss: come on now kid, we've been through this a million times. herbert's not dead, he just sleeps funny. everyone knows egyptian geese sleep in weird positions*.
zoo worker: oh whew. thanks for telling me that again. everytime someone asks about him, my heart skips a beat and my skin gets all tingly and bumpy.
boss: tell ya what, kid - why don't you make a sign so people don't get concerned anymore and so you'll stop bugging me. can't you see i'm busy here? (taps his golf ball into a paper cup lying on its side)
* don't feel stupid, not everyone knows what an egyptian goose is. i didn't. the boss was just annoyed with the zoo worker so he says senseless things, it's bound to happen. here are some pictures to educate you:
(only i think that one really is dead and not just sleeping funny...i also like to imagine that guy's name is herbert in real life)
