San Diego plumbers clean up their act

PlumbercrackScore one for the hot-plumber fantasy. According to news service Wireless Flash, Steve Fox Plumbing in San Diego is offering consumers a “no stink” guarantee—promising that only polite, punctual and clean-shaven plumbers will show up to unclog your sink. Company owner Becki Fox, whose hubby’s name is on the door, says customers are tired of putting up with wise-cracking—and otherwise cracking—professional plumbers. And just who is the arbiter of these high standards? Becki herself. (Does Becki also travel the land giving diction lessons to subway conductors and showing Duane Reade employees how to smile? How Pygmalion of her.) So stand up straight, tuck in that shirt and have a Certs, Joe Bluecollar. Otherwise, your customer gets her money back.

michael diamond plumbing has the SAME ad running on the radio these days. I thought it was weird when I heard it, but maybe it's been a problem lately?
