Existential Burbia: The BIG Questions, No Answers

The Meaning of 'Emergency'...

If my plumber says on his answering machine that he will respond immediately to all "emergencies," and I leave a message that my basement and livingroom are both 6 feet deep in water, and I don't hear back from him for 2 weeks, does that confirm that my flood and subsequent collapsing house were not "emergencies"?

If A Pipe Bursts In The Forest...

A water pipe in the basement has burst and is gushing like a waterfall. If we shut the basement door and the door to the den where we're sitting and watching TV, and we no longer can hear the gushing water...is the pipe in fact still gushing?

Plumbers are like flowers. Breathe them in and when they turn brown and rotten flush them down the crapper pit.

There can be a 10 volumme book written about pluimber and plumbing problems. I think Toslstoy wrote some good essays on it.

- submitted by philosphergal on 07/27/2007

Martin Boober? This thread has got some serious thinkers going, love it. Read Camus on plumbers. I dated one once, might've been the dullest guy i'd ever metrt but he took care of all my plumbing needs (not that kind, the water toilet pipe kindd!).

i'm a plumber and if I don't return your calls it's definitely not an emergency. I tried as hard as I can but you can't always return them all.

What a plumber does has

- submitted by grover on 07/31/2007

What a plumber does has nothing to do with it. Shut all doors and pretend all is well. Works every time especially with a few beers and chasers.

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/31/2007

If you've got a waterfuall going in your house I'm sorry it's still there if you close the door. If you drink a lot and then close the door, then it's not there.

Consumer credit counseling program

- submitted by Jeffrey on 08/06/2009

Hi all. A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left him. I am from Bolivia and learning to read in English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Read on to know more about credit counseling – its history and its advantages."

;-) Thanks in advance. Jeffrey.
