If you had a house full of quadruplets, would you want to wait until Daddy got home to fix the broken toilets? Not sure if it’s a co-worker or employee doing it, but you’d definitely want *somebody* to take care of it immediately.

Randy–I hadn’t really noticed that, but now that you mention it, EWWWWWWWWW!!

My husband works with spinal cord injury patients at the local VA hospital, and my first thought when the plumber said he had “quads” was “quadriplegics.” Duuuuuuh. . . .

I like Size’s rendition.

…Or perhaps this plumber overcharges and has a reasonably-priced plumber doing his work at home. Or maybe his “quads” are stopping up toilets all day and causing constant damage.

You’re all overthinking it. The plumber was just making a joke. Of course he didn’t hire someone to fix his toilets at home.

See Birdseed’s comment.

Pinny’s explanation makes perfect sense. It might be what Armstrong had in mind, but it should have been.

I figured he was an employee, and he can’t take time off work to fix his own toilets — which definitely need to be fixed if he has four kids + wife — so he has to hire a plumber to do it for him. I hope he gets “cost only” rates as a courtesy.

The joke is just that 2 children = 1 broken toilet. For n children, you will have n/2 broken toilets.

He could just as easily have said “I have to fix two toilets when I get home.” Obviously he wouldn’t be working on home stuff during work hours.
