Further proof of my masculinity, in case anyone doubted it.

The downstairs toilet has been running, and teh m0mmy poked her head in before she went to work to ask me to take a look at it sometime today. I have no idea where the hell she got the idea that I was a union plumber, or what she thinks I can do about it: am I supposed to lay my hands on the toilet and go, "By the powers invested in me by the State of Indiana and my obvious testosterone imbalance, I command the vile demons that have infested this toilet to come OUT!"?

Then again, women don't really get asked to look at toilets, so I guess this means the next time someone calls and wants to speak to The Man Of The House, Mom is going to hand the phone over to me.

Oh, gender identity! What joy it is!

That sounds like a scrub or something. XD Actually, I did manage to work some toilet magic, except I'm not at all confident of my ability to effect a repeat performance.

My toilet fixing in the past has generally consisted of fiddling around inside the tanky bit. Then again, it's always worked *g*

Let's face it - that's probably all plumbers do. And then they charge $200 for the pleasure :)

You can come fix my toilet, too, if it makes you happy. It's a bit runny, you see.

Sure, Cat. I'll be on the next flight over. ^_-

Great! Bring your own tools. And don't expect to be paid, although I might eat sweets in front of you and not offer you any.

No one said being a plumber was fun.

Fine. Just for that, it'll be $120 an hour to start with, and every time I go for coffee, it'll cost you an extra $50.

Also, I reserve the right to bare my asscrack.
