Average Jane gets home from work and prepares to lie down for a bit.
Husband: We need to call a plumber.
AJ (listening for water spurting from a burst pipe): Why?
Husband: Because the toilet’s stopped up.
AJ: Well, use the plunger!
Husband: What plunger?
AJ: THE plunger. (Retrieves plunger from tricksy hiding place in the cabinet under the bathroom sink, hands it to husband and lies down in bedroom.)
SFX: Tentative squooshing sounds.
AJ (from bed): You need to be a little more energetic about your plunging.
SFX: Successful flushing noise.
AJ (finally setting down for nap): You’re welcome. I just saved you $100.
