The next time there is the need for a plumber don’t be surprised if the person carrying a tool box is a woman. That is because American women are getting the message that a degree in Women’s Studies can be worthless while a plumber’s certification provides a good paying job.

I would like to grab a sandwich and watch a woman carry a five ton compressor up an extension ladder onto a roof for a change out.

The last time a compressor was installed on the roof of my two story house a crane was used to lift it in place. Perhaps in places like Russia and Cuba men still would lug it up a ladder. No successful company in America would do it that way.

Your going to spend $250 to bring a compressor up to a roof when a man can bring up? You might be thinking about a condenser, not a compressor.

Anything that weighs 5 tons would be lifted by a crane not lugged up a ladder by any successful company in America. Maybe lugged up a ladder by an illegal alien by an itinerant contractor.

This reminds me of the Jay Leno show in which he showed how he trained to put the microphone of sexy busty women without touching them.

They brought in a plumber who then bent over showing the butt crack, then Jay put the microphone on his belt without touching the flesh. Jay had an “icky” look on his face then.

It is OK if you don’t know how air conditioning system capacities are rated.
