Q: How can you tell the difference between a plumber and a pipefitter?

A: Bury them both up to their necks in poop and swing a golf club at their
heads. The plumber's the one who ducks!
 
lmbo!! I have a friend in the pipefitters union. He always makes a point to correct you if you call him a plumber. He was upset that his dad didn't want him to help with the plumbing in the bathroom remodel he was doing. Pops said "but I need a plumber" and walked off. :p
 
A pipe fitter deals with pipes in general. Steam, gas, water etc. Plumbers deal with suply and drain water piping. PLumbers are the ones you call out to unclog a toilet etc. and deal with old work far more often.

So am I, LU 475. What local is he out of? And to all the others.... you can tell the difference very simply. A pipefitter is the one who CAN bite his nails at the end of the day.
