a few months ago I noticed a leak outside and called a plumber...the guy said I had a cracked waterline and then proceeded to mansplain...he asked me if I knew what expansion and contraction were..I said yes I did because I passed 8th grade science... if there's water in the line and it freezes, the ice will expand and crack the line...the genius shook his head and said "You're wrong..it's like when a women has a baby"...I asked him if he was talking about labor and delivery..that kind of contraction?...yes he was..to think I taught school for years and he's making more an hour than I did...
