Justin!

Oh my God, this has got to be one of the funniest things I've read in a really long time!

I remember hearing about the pipe bursting when it originally happened but who knew it had such a story behind it! LOL

But why does that underground pipe sound like an old, curmudgeonly black man? Poor thing!

Regardless, this post was hilarious!!
