The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!

Henny Penny warned us all years ago: "The Sky is Falling!"  Used in every metaphor from space debris to stock market dips/slumps, there's no truer realistic use of this phrase than to allow a plumber into your house. An attractive man with a shiny bald head, he gives no warning before producing a saw with a 4 inch blade and promptly cuts a hole in your dining room ceiling! Plaster falling! Wood splintering! Debris as large as rocks, and as small as pulverized dust spread across the floor in every direction. Yes indeed the sky is falling! What a mess. Added to the insult and assault, this attractive man didn't put down tarp or plastic!! What was he thinking!!!! (or NOT thinking?)  Men, plumbers, yes, they must have listened to the child's story as a kid and taken it literally! "When I grow up, I want to be a plumber so I can make the "sky" really fall - eh eh eh" My only consolation today, watching the man scurry very fast back to his truck, was seeing how the pulverized dust coated his once shiny head, covered the collar of his blue shirt right up to his scrawny neck. I giggled thinking how much that dust would itch for the rest of his day!  Still, he had his revenge, the laugh was still on me, as I returned to the disaster he had calmly made, then left behind.
