Why you always want to hire English-speaking workmen

My friend's S,O, hired guys to recarpet & tile their whole house.She got a frantic call from her brother (who lives with them).. "Connie, they took both toilets out to tile the bathrooms, and then they left. It's been almost 3 hours and they are not back yet. I have to go to the bathroom"...

:rofl:.

she called me to have me go pick him up and bring him to my house so the poor old guy could "go"..

until they were finished in the other, but they smiled and said oK..He went outside in the back yard and when he came back inside, the toilets were out, and the workers gone..:)
