Confronted by this latest atrocity -- The Police -- Driven To Tears -- 1979
Snippet of intelligent banter last week at the Casa De Avalon....................................................
Heat Miser: Did you notice that there's rust on the hot water heater?
Me: Nope.
HM: Well, there is.
Me: I wonder why?
HM: I dunno. It's old.
Me: This does not sound good. Where's the rust?
HM: Near the top.
Me: I'd better go take a look.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump
Me: ( yelling from the basement) Yep, it's rusty!
HM:( yelling to the basement from the kitchen) I thought so. When our income taxes come in, I'll have to call the plumber!
Snippet of intelligent conversation this past Saturday at the Casa De Avalon.....................................
HM: I think the hot water heater is leaking.
Me: Why?
HM: Because there's water on the floor under it.
Me: Oh, shit! A lot?
HM: No, not much.
Me: I'd better go take a look.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump
Me: ( yelling from basement) Yep, it's leaking! Fucker!!!!!
HM: ( yelling to the basement from the Living Room) Maybe I better call the plumber!
Me: Yep, that's a good idea! Hey, do ya' think it will explode?
HM: I dunno. Better get away from it!
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump
Me: You better ask the plumber if we should shut off the main. Hey, how are we going to take showers??? I can't go to work tomorrow without a shower. By then, I'll be 2 days worth of stink!!!!
HM: Don't worry. Just bring in a loaf of my Irish Bread and no one will notice.
So, Happy Saint Patrick's day to all. May your water heater be blessed with a long life, and may your co-workers smell of Caraway seeds.

That exchange was hilarious. Not sure about the aroma of HM's Irish Bread as a BO concealer, but hey, whatever works!

I don't think they explode anymore. Unless the vavle is rusty. Maybe.
They USED to explode quite a bit!
Annie~~~ Thankfully, it didn't explode, but I was ready. I had a flashlight, a bunch of towels and a bad of Potato Chips just in case.
