Blow jab

DT · Nov 8, 2026, 12:20 AM

The trouble with unclogging pipes is that one may inadvertently block another, sometimes necessitating drastic measures. A bypass, perhaps?

A local executive may soon find himself in such a plumbing predicament, particularly if his fondness for young company becomes something of an open secret.

One young fellow, apparently, may have developed an inflated sense of importance from his proximity to parochial power.

The boytoy recently dealt someone a blow — or shall we say a jab — during a heated ball game. The recipient, however, wasn’t amused and has taken the matter to court.

There were reportedly attempts to smooth things over between the young hotshot and the complainant, but apparently no amount of sweet talk could make the latter swallow his pride.

Too bad. The local executive has done wonders for his constituents, but this particular low blow from his high-riding boylet could prove to be an electoral headache.

And that plum ride the young man now flaunts? A rather throaty affair. The exhaust, you dirty-minded you.

Some pipes, it seems, are harder to fix than others.
