Ralph -

I wouldn't think a plumber is obsessed with crappers, but this was in the
context of fine women discussing what they wanted their bathrooms to look
like.  How could they talk about a toilet or how many holes there should be
in the outhouse if they weren't allowed to discuss bodily functions or
anything that remotely smelled of bodily functions?

Pam,

Speaking as one involved in the construction industry, I can assure you
that
defecation is not a prerequisite to engaging in conversation with a
plumber.
At least, not normal plumbers.
