There was once a plumber who came to our Shop who was a bit rough around the edges. I'll call him Cloyce just to give him a name. Cloyce was a good guy and a good plumber just, as I said, rough around the edges. Gruff. He was also from England. Not that that matters, except to the story.
One day as he waited for me to put a new cord on his Electric Eel Model C (Electric Eel: for all your drain cleaning needs) I decided to engage him in conversation and to satisfy my curiosity about a question. "So where exactly in England are you from, Cloyce?" I asked.
He asked in return, "Do you know England very well?"
"No, not really," I replied honestly.
"Then what the (insert common expletive here) difference does it make?"
I was initially surprised, then I laughed out loud. It was vintage Cloyce.
He was from Norwich, just so you know. Although I don't know what the (insert common expletive here) difference it makes.
