HUMOR
Stuck in the Bathtub With No Way Out
It happens to the best of us
“What is that?” My friend Jen asked as she stumbled out of the bathroom.
“What?” I asked.
She flopped onto the couch beside me and giggled as she picked up her glass of wine.
“That basin thing in your bathroom…” She trailed off as the wine glass hit her lips.
I eyed her suspiciously as she gulped.
After a pause, I replied, “The sink? How drunk are you?”
And when are you leaving?
“No! The thing leaning against the wall,” she said between chugs.
“Oh, that’s a toddler bath,” I shrugged.
Jen chuckled loudly as she reached for the wine bottle on the coffee table.
“No one has a toddler tub,” she chortled as wine sploshed from the bottle into her glass.
Settle down, Titslap.
“Well, I fucking do. The bathtub started leaking, and I can’t use it until I fix it.”
Which should happen any day now. I read a plumbing book, so I know what I’m doing. Read is a strong word. Saw. I saw a book about plumbing and ignored it.
