Humorous quote from the gas guy

in THE MAIN WALL
The gas line feeding my house is leaking underground so I had a guy from the gas company come out.

Most of what he said sounded reasonable, but he pointed to the boiler's vent and said:

"If you have a 90% boiler, that means 10% of the gas comes out with the exhaust." [And you can smell it!]

    I worked for the utility for 7 years, you can't imagine some of the morons they would hire. Don't forget that guy passed a "hard" test to get that job and has gone through rigorous training.

    Why a roll and not a muffin? Or a biscuit? Maybe a croissant?
