Plumber: Looks like you got a leak.
Marge: Could you start fixing it pretty soon? The basement is getting
awfully flooded. And I think the cat's down there.
[Snowball II meows balefully from underwater]
Plumber: Yeah, I probably won't be able to get the parts I need for two,
three weeks and that's if I order them today -- which I won't.
Marge: Oh, dear.
[his pager beeps; he looks, it shows "Low Battery"]
Plumber: Hmm, emergency call. Gotta go. [starts to leave]
Homer: What should we do until you get back?
Plumber: Ehh, put a pan down there.
[Homer puts one down; it floats away]
Homer: Aw, it didn't work!
-- A good use of $75/hour, "Homer the Great"
