Plumber
The plumber at many dollars a day could afford a little persiflage with
the cook in the kitchen where he was theoretically repairing the sink.
The cook was plain-featured, but any diversion was welcome to speed the
hours for which he drew pay. He made a strong impression on the cook,
and when he took his departure, she simpered, and said coyly:
"Thursday is my evenin' off, an' we might go to the movies."
The plumber snorted indignantly.
"What!" he demanded. "On me own time?"
