More about Plumbers' Butts

Season and Michael recently posted some funny "plumber's butt" pictures in an amusing post on the subject.

It reminded me of the day we had our new dishwasher delivered. Two strong delivery people removed the old one then carried in the new, energy-efficient, whisper-quiet one. Together they manhandled it into position then set to work installing it.

I thought it was interesting that while the person in charge was a good-looking, muscular man in his twenties, his apprentice was an equally muscular woman of around the same age. She followed his instructions, handed him tools when he asked for them, and when they crouched in front of the appliance to connect it to the kitchen plumbing, I saw that he had trained her well.

Both wore jeans without belts, and both displayed a generous amount of plumber's butt.


But then, looking at it from another point of view, some people have an extreme form of plumber's butt, even if they aren't in the business.
