INTERNAL - KITCHEN.

A PLUMBER IS IN THE BATHROOM FIXING THE TOILET, THE HOUSEHOLDER A WOMAN IS SAT DOWNSTAIRS WAITING FOR HIM TO FINISH, HE HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND SHE CAN HEAR HIS FRUSTRATION.

HE FINALLY FINISHES AND COMES DOWNSTAIRS.

Woman: You were up there a while, was it a very big job

THE PLUMBER LAUGHS

Woman: Did I say something funny?

Plumber: Yes, was it a big job, the amount of times I have heard that.

Woman: No I am serious, you were up there a long time, at least 3 hours, it must have been a really big job.

Plumber: Yes there was a lot of blockage in the pipes, and I had to fit a new cistern.

Woman: There was a lot of banging going on, I thought you might have been building a log cabin or something.

PLUMBER LAUGHS AGAIN

Woman: I have said something funny again haven't I, what is it this time?

Plumber: Log cabin, it's a slang word for poo, I have heard that many times as well.

Woman: Well, I never I best not open my mouth again then, anyway how much do I owe you?

Plumber: £185 please.

THE WOMAN WRITES THE PLUMBER A CHEQUE

Plumber: Lovely day, to nice to be stuck inside.

Woman: Oh yes it's beautiful, I am glad you finished now, I have got to drop the kids off at the pool

I don't get it.

It is one of them ones where if you don't know the saying, it falls apart completely at the end.

Drop the kids off, or drop the kids off at the pool is slang for. Having a dump.

Not that I have heard the saying 'Drop the kids off at the pool' but I can assume it's another euphemism for having a poo.

You forgot to work 'laying a cable' into it and probably many others

I laughed, but I'm very childish, I always laugh at poo jokes.

I never heard it until the boys in work said it and I liked the saying. Yes there are lots and lots of others, make a deposit,

Or the woman looks over to the cabinet and says "I have to go the turtles head is popping out"

I always laugh at poo jokes as well, I blame Ben Elton.

Oh, I see. I've never heard that before.

I've never heard that one either so it was lost on me I'm afraid.

I'm embarassed to say, the ending made me grin.
