Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 14, 2009

What pluggers are that stingy that they won’t buy a $10 sprinkler?!

The sprinkler doesn’t earn an allowance. It’s about creating jobs. Pluggers know how.

Watch it! I was once a disgruntled teenager!

I could see a Plugger having the teenager hook up the sprinkler & move it around, but holding it? That’s a bit much. I’m sure I could find other work for my teenager to do instead. (Weeding, mowing, washing dishes, vacuuming, dusting…)

Joe Allen Doty must be new to Pluggerville, or just a slow learner, if he just noticed the cross-speciation of Plugger families. I think it’s great how Gary Brookins (and Jeff MacNelly before him) find just the right animus for the character displayed. The disgruntled teen is right on. I have a houseful of them right now. Ruff-Ruff. OP13

When I drank beer I thought watering the lawn was a great job.

To be fair, it’s the old cartoon gag of “gender-linked species”; The children of Andy Bear and Sheila Roo are boys (bears) and girls (kangaroos).

Hi, cashew Jim, but not meaning to sound nasty, noone wants to hear about your watering schedule, out here in the VERY West, (San Diego) We’re on MANDATORY watering conservation, but, anyway, when you think you have something you want to tell people, remember these Letters: NBC (No Body Cares.)

You’re a plugger when any home maintenance task involves a disguntled teenager. Is there any other kind?
