car talk
overheard from the driver's seat on the trip home from Potsdam:
daughter: is $30 an hour good pay?
son: not if you are a plumber. plumbers in New York City get $60 an hour.
daughter: how much do plumbers get an hour here?
son: twenty, if they're lucky.
daughter: why so much more in NYC?
son: because of all the building codes. AND all the grumpy people.
daughter: aren't there the same amount of grumpy people here?
son: no way. see, say there are 100 people here, and 10 of them are grumpy. That's not so bad. But in NYC, they have a million people. that's 100,000 grumpy people. that's ALOT of grumpy people. and that's why plumbers get paid so much more there.
daughter: oohhhhhh....
