    My local sewer guy takes pride in his job. Not only does he care enough to know the entire sewer layout for every lot in town, he also cares enough about it to always provide the customer with a good offer. He just wants it done right. But it doesn’t just stop there. He is also the chairman for the sewer industry in the entire country, giving advice to all the other sewer companies, municipalities and other industries.

    No, he probably doesn’t particularly enjoy hosing down somebody’s fatberg, but him and his guys usually seem to have fun doing it anyway. He gets paid well be too.

    If I got half the pay for having half the fun and being able to take half the pride in what I do, I’d gladly accept the job.

      Well my mum’s boyfriends cousin is a sewer clearer and he says it’s terrible and smells like shit and everybody who says otherwise is lying. Who do we believe?

        Not you.

        My neighbors’ eight-year-old son’s dog walker’s second cousin (once removed) says you’re a liar (and always will be).

        He said no one. I know one. That’s more than zero.

        Your acquaintance is wrong and should find a different job in the lying business.

            I was abducted by interdimensional aliens who told me that vows of truth are only effective in less than half of all cases.

              Was it the vorblarons? I’ve heard they speak in opposite English, so you have to listen to the reverse of what they say.
