Is it just me...

[Nobody]

...or does Joe the Plumber seem like a great Straight Dope name?

[Debon Err]

Sure, go ahead and use it. Then you wouldn't be a nobody anymore. :rolleyes:

[Nobody]

:dubious: First, I wasn't suggesting that I use it.
Second, I kept hearing both candidates talk about Joe the plumber during the debate and though it sounded perfect for an SDMB name. Why the roll-eyes?

[Debon Err]

The roll eyes was for my lame joke, not for you! And I was actually agreeing with you. It just didn't come out right.
I like it. :)

[Nobody]

Cool. Thanks.

Ya know...it could be Jo the plumber. :D


This for those of us old enough for the Josephine the Plumber Comet commercials.

Hey! My plumber is actually Joe the Plumber- it's on his cards and everything!

No, we don't live in Toledo.

First, I wasn't suggesting that I use it.I don't blame you. Plumbers aren't all they're cracked up to be.

[Joey Tightlips]

Sure, NOW you tell me. *sigh*

I do wonder how Joe became the catch-all name for things like this.

[TroubleAgain]

I don't blame you. Plumbers aren't all they're cracked up to be.


Booooooo!

:cool:

Are you going to start teasing him now?:D

[Ann Onimous]

I don't blame you. Plumbers aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Sombody needs some spackle. :D
