A reason for a man

On Wednesday night I came home to find no water in the toilet bowl. Uh oh. That can't be a good thing. There are many, many things I have learned to do for myself. Living alone for over a decade teaches you a couple of things. One of the things I am not willing to learn or do is deal with a toilet. It's to sit on. Full stop. Nothing else I need to know about a toilet. So I called in the experts.

The two young guys arrived and put on their cute little blue booties, took one look and said it would be around $150 and did I want them to continue. What a ridiculous, rhetorical question. Even if I wasn't desperate for a pee, I would've said yes. What choice did I have at that point? Anyways, two more minutes go by and I hear the toilet flush. These happy little boys wander out for a $150 cheque!!! First of all, I'm so in the wrong business. Secondly, I realized that there actually IS a reason to have a guy around. At the very least I wouldn't have had to make small talk with two guys who just LOVE video games. Sigh.
