    Plums get their name because plumbers would eat them to more effectively test the toilets they were working on.

      not the plumbers themselves, mind you. people like me. they used to hire professional shitters. i had myself surgically altered and now have seven (edit, wait, my wife and i counted last night and i may have miscounted and i’m at eight now) buttholes to service multiple toilets at once. premium service, you see? what did they go and do? they made robot assholes to do our jobs for us. It’s why toilets ain’t been comfy since the 70s. WHERE DID THE LEATHER/PLEATHER SEATS GO? THE OLIVE TOILET SEATS ARE REAL EASY TO CARE FOR, YOU JUST GOTTA OIL THEM EVERY SO OFTEN (AND BE PREPARED FOR GREASE BUTT THE DAY AFTER OILING) AND DAMN OLIVE FEELS NIIIIICE ON THE ASS. and at least one of those robot assholes has escaped you just know it. costing me jobs and all of us our sanity. and butt comfiness.

      I heard that is where the Plumb Bob came from, he was an antiques dealer that liked to snort crystal meth through whale dorks.
