There's another Joe the Plumber in Toledo Ohio
I just saw on channel 13 ABC news in Toledo Ohio a report on another "Joe the Plumber" (Joe O'Neil), but this guy actually has a license. He was also interviewed and said that he doesn't wish to share his views with the whole nation. Sorry, I don't have a link, I just heard it reported.

1. Not surprising there is someone named Joe (a very common name)
who is a plumber in Ohio. THAT made the news?! Is it any surprise that Bush still has a 25% approval rating?

3. My plumber's name is Jake

he's my Brother-in-Law; he's licensed also, and certainly doesn't make 250,000 a year.

"Jake the Plumber"

9. I love my plumber... he's very fair.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 06:29 AM by npincus
I don't know what he makes, but he stayed here an hour this Tues., replaced both shower knobs, and only charged $160 total. I thought that was very fair. My previous plumber charge %125 for replacing packing in the shower, and was here for maybe 10 minutes.

You're lucky to have a plumber in the family! I'll bet that comes in handy!

7. McCain's Joe the Plumber wants to hire a Mexican to do the plumbing too.
Trust me on that.

8. Joe the Plumber #1 doesn't want me to retire.
He's against me getting Social Security. I'm not very impressed with this type of "Joe the Plumber", actually.
