Suck it up

But I have a cousin who has future doctor written on his forehead but is helpless when it comes to working with his hands. That sums it up. Everybody lauds the docs and Lawyers because of the "advanced" education they received. But it takes a certain skill and learning to be able to have the roughness needed to deal with a nasty meesed up toilet or washer hookups and still maintain the ability to get the job done right, no leaks. That unfortunately isn't something you can't learn in a university so we don't have the ability to charge enormous fees for our top notch labor with our hands. So I don't care who I talk to. If anybody plumber or doctor says scrapper my blood boils.

Plumber or Doctor they both get you bent over!
