From Larousse: Did I said the plumber came yesterday? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> He changed the valves and pipes of the bathroom.

Sorry. Just a point of clarification.
Are we discussing:
"Did he bend over, Larousse?"
or
"Did he bend over Larousse?"

We are discussing: "Did he bend over, Larousse." And I'm sure my comma was in the right place. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Did he bend over Larousse? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Oh, oh, you mean if he tried to restart the relationship? Mainly he has tried to justify his actions. Sometimes I feel he tries to make me mad to be able to justify himself.

Larousse, I meant the plumber. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> (As you know very well) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Plumbers always try to charge too much and they use all sorts of terms they think you don't understand to get away with it. You stick to your guns. Don't let him justify those charges for the little work that he did. You keep that plumber honest!

Plumbers talk dirty too.
My BIL was a plumber before he retired and he used to have us in hysterical laughter over the terms they use.

When you flush your "bags of peanut butter" down the water closet, apparently, that also takes two years. No, that definitely would not have passed the quality control standards of the company being interviewed for the program. Of course Larousse might use a toilet like that. Good excuse to call the plumber.

Thank you for sharing about the peanut butter.
Did you know they use peanut butter as a gross "effect" in movies?

Don't let him justify those charges for the little work that he did. Actually I had a glimpse at plumbing * the way it was I guess 20 or more years ago, before silicon. To fit one tube into another there was candle cord between them. When he had finished his job he was explaining how to keep the valves clean and that I should not use them until the next day. Then he opened it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> This is the same plumber who said he was a wrestler in his youth. He's now an open market seller of cleaning products. By his comments I get he thinks I'm very poor because I don't have a TV. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Johnson is one more slang word for a certain part of a man's body.

A Johnson lever is the reason why Superman needs X Ray vision.

Blushing twice now.
First for not getting the analogy and second for the Johnson (I knew that BTW)
