Actually, This Is Floyd The Plumber. Joe Was On Vacation In Tahiti At The Time.

In the wake of this years election and the horrendous economic downturn a new movement has appeared on the scene. A 'Joe The Plumber' movement has been founded out of the ranks of poor and lower middle class citizen's in our society.

Senator McCain, having seen 'Joe The Plumber' as an example of the downtrodden members of society, gave away his ignorance of the situation as plumbers are much better paid than most blue collar worker, making on the average $22 an hour and up to $34.

"I wish I made that much!" says Darell Stensis, a kitchen worker from the Bronx. "I'd fix people's nasty toilets for $22 an hour, no problem!"

"$34 an hour? I'll blow the pipes clean for than much!" said Michelle LamBeau, a streetwalker in Memphis.

Meanwhile, Plumbers Unions across the country, taking advantage of the attention, are petitioning Congress for a bailout for their 'poor, underprivileged members'. They are planning to fly to Washington in their private jets to deliver it.
