If you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail
Cats: words|I love this expression. It applies to so many situations.
When I had water in my basement, I called my plumber and he said it was my hotwater heater, which of course is a plumber’s job.
I called my concrete man and he said it was my foundation concrete.
I called my furnace man and he said it was my furnace.
So I got a new hotwater heater. And there was still water in my basement.
I called my furnace man and he showed me where the overflow water was leaking out.
That solved the problem.
I’m glad I didn’t get the concrete man in to pour a new foundation.

I’m sorry, is there an Aesop fable in there?

I wonder if a psycologist could have fixed the problem.

At least they didn’t tell you to buy some goldfish and live with it.

She neglected to mention it was 8ft of psychotic Goldfish-infested water

Hmm, I have never heard that expression “if you’re a plumber, everything is a hot water heater”. Or was it “if you’re a concrete guy, everything’s a foundation”? Whatever, I’ve never heard it before.

Cormac, if there you, you would be the one to spot it…
Dick, as long as the psychologist could deal with the water all over the floor.
Doc, that would be the answer if I’d phoned the local fish pet store.

Tonardo, we battled ‘er and won but it was touch and go-oooldfish… snort.
