Everybody poops

The American exSpectorator asked "Joe" the "Plumber" for his Christmas book recommendations. Here's a selection:

Temples of Convenience - and Chambers of Delight (Lucinda Lambton): "It shed a great deal of light on the development of the lavatory, or as we say over home, 'the hutch.'" Most of the privies in the book are "the product of non-union labor." A plus!

Flushed with Pride: The Story of Thomas Crapper (Wallace Reyburn): "Just when you think you know everything about plumbing, this book comes along."

Plumber's Handbook (Howard C. Massey): Particularly useful "on the topics of greasy waste systems, outside waste interceptors, and what for me has been a longtime conundrum, local gas codes." It's also water-resistant.

Surprisingly, he does not mention Holy Shit!, the story of Jesus's last bowel movement and how it disappeared during the Templars' siege of Jerusalem in 1108.

Kidding. The article, from the Economist, closes with:

Joe's first book, Fighting for the American Dream, is available for pre-order now, and will be available in remainder bins shortly thereafter.
