The two men sat drinking at the bar.
One was saying that within the trades you often come across anomalies. He gave the example of Tilers that have leaky rooves or Plumbers that have a pipe under the sink that constantly drips. There were Florists that don’t grow flowers in their gardens and Launderers with closets full of dirty clothes. There were Bakers who never bake at home, Landscapers that had messy gardens and Veterinarians that don’t keep pets. Panel-beaters with dents in their car doors and Glaziers with broken windows. Again, you had carpenters with doors that stick. Barbers with messy hair. House painters with peeling paint. Locksmiths with locks that jam. Bricklayers with garden walls cracking and Electricians with frayed wiring.
