My cousins, having a breakdown. Ha ha ha. I think that by the time they got their PhD’s , they stopped using their minds and now only know how to regurgitate. I value the opinion of a self employed plumber more than a university employed “expert” PhD when it comes to politics.

Plumbers also have a marvelous sense of humor. One whom I call on says you only have to know three things to be a plumber:

1. $#*+ won't flow uphill.
   
2. Hot water pipe and faucet is on the left.
   
3. Cold water pipe and faucet is on the right.

Especially since that plumber is highly likely to have served in the military, and the younger ones that served are likely to have been overseas in a hot zone, like my (wonderful) electrician, for example.
