Great Falls, Mont. (CNS)-
Plumber Edward Johnson and Friend Carl Lehman were leaving Johnson's office for their weekly club meeting when a woman phoned Johnson and asked him to fix a pipe leak. "Let it go till after lunch," advised Friend Lehman. "Some women expect you to jump at the drop of a hat." Johnson agreed and the two men lunched at their club.
Later Lehman's wife called him. "Where have you been?" she demanded. "I called the plumber and he didn't show up. The water pipe broke and the cellar's flooded."
