Funny voice mail...

I got the funniest voice mail yesterday. At a recent inspection I tagged an illegal TPR valve installation. TPR is the Temperature/Pressure Relief valve, the safety release valve on the top of your water heater. I then get a phone call from the listing agent...Hey Jon, I'm here with the plumber and he doesn't know what you mean by the TP (in background he asks "the plumber" what's that called and you can hear "the plumber" yell out 'TPR valve'), yeah Jon what you mean by the TPR valve on the water heater. Ladies and gentlemen, that right there is funny. This TPR valve is like shingles to a roof, it's that basic. With all due respect to real plumbers, this guy is NOT a plumber. And if you're a realtor, or anyone else who hires someone to do something/anything, for God's sake and your own, hire a professional.
