How, exactly, will you enforce this overalls-only policy? Are
you talking about creating public awareness of the
epidemic of plumber's crack engulfing the free nations of
the world, or is this some bizarre fascist mandate to be
carried out by military police action? |
|
|
By advertising. When its done right, it works. |
|
|
A search for the words [ plumbers + overalls ] suggests that you did not perform a similar search before posting this idea. |
|
|
I already knew that, but chose mockery over mere
correction. |
|
|
Or you could go the other route and play up the
cliche' for comedy purposes. "Crack Plumbers: Our
crack plumbers are too busy doing the job right to
worry about fashion." then have a cartoon character
of a plumber's crack sporting guy looking over his
shoulder and giving the thumbs up after fixing the
leak. |

|
There is a local plumbing firm that advertises itself as the
smell-good plumber, in contrast to what they refer to as
stinky buttcrack plumbers. They have a reputation for
being overpriced and somewhat incompetent. |

LOL. and by contrast we had a local company with a
skunk with a clothespin on it's nose as a mascot with
the slogan "Let Stinky do it!" |
|
|
I always thought the best name for a plumbing
company would be "Turd-Burglar". The mascot would
be
the cliche' burglar with a black eye mask, striped
shirt, 5 o'clock
shadow and 1930s burglar's cap sneaking in the
window with a plunger in his hand instead of a
crowbar. See link and replace the flashlight with a
plunger in your mind's eye. |

Or just print bum cleavage on the overalls, then at least you could standardise it. |
|
|
Another solution... see link |
