I eavesdrop and hear funny things.

Scene: A plumber is talking to a restaurant owner as they are figuring how to coordinate drainage for a deli display case while I peacefully sip coffee at a nearby table.

Plumber: "See this hose? It needs to drain. Number one rule of plumbing, water needs to run downhill."

Restaurant Owner: (slightly exasperated) "I know, I know..."

Plumber: (In effort to soothe the slight tension) "The second rule is that payday is on Fridays, but the first is the water..."


It was funny to me. :]
