Dennis saved the plumber’s emergency number beside the kitchen sink.
When a pipe began dripping, he called it at once.
A recorded voice asked him to describe the emergency after the beep.
Dennis leaned close to the phone and held it under the tap….
The leak had started during breakfast. Dennis placed a cup beneath it and counted one drop every three seconds.
His wife asked why he was timing the leak instead of fixing it.
Dennis said professionals liked accurate information.
He called the emergency line. The recording asked for his name, address and a clear description.
Dennis gave the details. Then he held the phone beside the pipe.
For thirty seconds, the plumber’s voicemail recorded plink, plink, plink.
His wife asked whether he planned to speak again.
Dennis whispered that the evidence was giving its statement.
The plumber called back two minutes later.
He said he understood the problem perfectly.
Dennis asked how quickly he could arrive.
The plumber said, As soon as your cup sounds full.
