Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for January 15, 2024

A very important person.

Go on, Shoe. Take the plunge.

She wouldn’t have a job around my house

Ever notice that most plumbing emergencies usually start at the beginning of a holiday weekend?

Well, she looks pretty flush.

If you’re teaching a new plumber the ropes of the trade you’re technically…

Potty training

What does the plumber say to their child after lecturing them?

Let that sink in.

What do you call a greek plumber with no ears?

It doesn’t matter he won’t hear you.

The plumber’s kids all got new shoes for Christmas.

Yeah, clogs.

A plumber is finishing up his last job of the day when he gets a call from his dispatcher to install a water heater. He argues, but the dispatcher says everyone else has gone home and it’s marked as urgent. The plumber concedes the argument and says “It’s a tankless job, but somebody’s gotta do it”

What do plumbers experience in their sleep?

Pipe dreams.

She may be perfect for Shoe as she could handle his crap pretty well

Josephine, nice to see you again.

Not so sure I would want to get involved with her, if I were you, Shoe ! ! ! She looks like she could flush you down the nearest rat hole ! ! !

Tell her to leave her tools in the truck! They’re dripping.

She is carrying her helper.

So she’s a plunger and not a plugger?

Oh dear God, that thing is dripping. And in a eating establishment. I think it’s an improvement over Roz’s food.

And she’s in the diner with a dripping plunger. Eww!

She probably has plenty of money. My friend, an oncologist (retired), says his son, the plumber, makes more money than he did when he was working.

She has another plunger as a backup for the backups.

Well, what type of a plumber’s butt crack can we expect.

I’m sorry, butt that would be the “power underneath the throne”…

Probably one of the richest people in town, then.

This might the best Shoe of all time, or at least since COVID.
