From "wiki"
From a flat bar of soft iron, hand forged into a gun barrel; laboriously bored and rifled with crude tools; fitted with a stock hewn from a maple tree in the neighboring forest; and supplied with a lock hammered to shape on the anvil; an unknown smith, in a shop long since silent, fashioned a rifle which changed the whole course of world history; made possible the settlement of a continent; and ultimately freed our country of foreign domination. Light in weight; graceful in line; economical in consumption of powder and lead; fatally precise; distinctly American; it sprang into immediate popularity; and for a hundred years was a model often slightly varied but never radically changed.
— Captain John G. W. Dillin, The Kentucky Rifle[2]

Eliminate the need for plumbers?
I dont think you have the right answer again.
If they did,
they would do so at their own peril, and to the peril of humanity at large.
Ive entertained your audience tonight because I know you like it, and your time is waning. I've given you ample time to mock and berate, because I am a giver.
Good luck, espola.
My father told me that when they got the first indoor toilet on the farm they had already had running water from the spring up the hill since before he was born. They filled in the two-holer at the end of the toolshed and then they had to figure out what to do with the sewage.
