Fixing hot tub just like that scene in Catch 22

Ithaca, NY - Local handyman, Paul Munn, today announced to his long suffering wife, Paula Cee, that while working on the hot tub it was like he was up in the plane in that scene from Catch 22.

“‘Cause you were naked?” inquired Cee.

“No, no. The bit where they’re on a bombing raid and that kid gets injured, and Yossarian is like bandaging up his leg, but just as he gets finished the kid’s flight suit comes open and all his guts spill out.”

“Fixing the hot tub was like that?”

“Yeah, see I was patching up this pipe that had a little leak in it, and I pulled out some insulation so I could get to the rear of the pipe and this huge crack opens up in the filter compartment. Dumped water all over me!”

Other sources speculated that Munn was either under a great deal of stress or else he lived an extremely boring life, but they weren’t sure which.

At press time, a clearly distraught Cee told reporters that she blamed herself, and said that perhaps if she and Munn could maybe talk more often he might not drift off into his weird little fantasy world.
