Plumbing is more than Water and Plumber's Smiles

The next time you make fun of the guy bending over to reach under your sink, remember that his crack might be showing because his hands are too dirty to reach down and pull his pants up.  Even under good circumstances, it's pretty ugly when pulling the traps to keep the water flowing.  Last night, I got into the nastiest set of pipes I had ever seen.  Solid material...nothing was flowing past the blockages in these babies.
This pipe led to the garbage disposal.  Maybe 18 inches long.  Solid.  It's hard to wrap my mind around how water flowed long enough to nearly solidify 18 inches of pipe.  I don't suppose we need to discuss the smell, do we?
