FIX the LEAKS!

Although my kitchen sink was replaced recently with a beautiful stainless steel one, somehow they forgot to update the funky old sink-swallower. Generally called disposals, but I like my name better.

I don’t use it much. Because instead of oh-so-nicely downing and chewing the content inserted, it rears up and gags and spits and roars and rumbles down inside there, sounding like a freight train trying to run over river rocks. The whole kitchen trembles.

The last time I tried using it, the pipes under the sink decided they didn’t want that stuff in them, sprang leaks all over the place, and soaked the entire cabinet and half the kitchen floor.

Today, without so much as a single howdy-doo, despite how careful I’ve been, I noticed water dripping out from under the doors.

Quick! Get the bucket! Find a towel! Call the plumber! What a damn mess. So annoying. Water everywhere.

Of course the ambient temperature had to be 103 degrees today, and said plumber, at least 6 foot tall, must have an extra 100 pounds on him. Can we say ‘s-w-e-a-t-y’? Poor guy, all twisted up trying to get at the pipes.

But in no time at all, he had it fixed and dry again, bless his little heart. So I drew this for him, to thank him for such a great job and for coming over here so quickly when I called.

Oh – and no, I don’t have mice! Or a doggie – I just thought my plumber guy would like some company.
