Laurel and Hardy were supposed to fix one leaking pipe. Somehow, they turned the repair into a full-scale emergency.
Laurel: “Ollie, I think the pipe is broken.”
Hardy: “I know, Stanley.”
Laurel: “Then why are you hitting it?”
Hardy: “Because I'm fixing it.”
Laurel: “With a wrench?”
Hardy: “Yes.”
Laurel: “And the sparks?”
Hardy: “Ignore those.”
Laurel: “And the water?”
Hardy: “Ignore that too.”
Laurel: “What should I pay attention to?”
Hardy pauses.
Hardy: “The ladder.”
Laurel: “Why?”
Hardy: “Because you're standing underneath it.”
Laurel looks up.
A burst of water hits Hardy directly in the face.
Laurel: “Ollie?”
Hardy: “What?”
Laurel: “I think the pipe is winning.”
Hardy slowly looks at the exploding pipe.
Hardy: “Stanley…”
Laurel: “Yes?”
Hardy: “Go get the plumber.”
Laurel: “Which one?”
Hardy: “The one who doesn't know us.”
And that was the moment their plumbing career ended before it even started.
Would you let Laurel and Hardy repair a pipe in your house?
Be honest — who would make the bigger mess: Laurel or Hardy?
