Mother of all freeze ups

Good buddy of mine is a plumber. He got a call to a house where a woman lives alone. Walking up the driveway there was a stream of water heading out of the house. Gets inside finds water gushing through a hole in the wall (AN INSIDE WALL). Apparently she has not had heat in years and lives with a coat on. So he shuts the water off heads back upsatirs, the break is in a pipe running to the 2nd floor, goes upstairs...toilet--frozen pond, basin-frozen pond, tub-frozen pond. He pleads for her to get the heat fixed--NO WAY- and she has the money!!!!
So he fixes the burst pipe, she pays him and he leaves.

I don't even want to think about how she survives without heat, without running water and takes care of business without a crapper...in this freakin cold......???????????

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
