P.S. most restaurants now use turkey for their "snapper " meat.

Really? Is this legal?

No.

And, the taste & texture between the two is very, very different.

This all reminds me of "The Freshman", with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando. Brando played a gangster in the biz of providing rare and endangered species for dinner.

Except Brando was a cop that was out to break up the exotic animal trade.

I think we're talking two different movies, Roger. I don't know which one you're talking about. "The Freshman" was a comedy based on "The Godfather".

Same movie.

Almost impossible to believe. Multi task room. Take a bath, take a shower, pull out the string and hang your delicates to dry or get electrocuted during any of the 3.

Larry London reveals tonight's expensive and exotic dinner is actually Hawaiian tigerfish mixed with smoked turkey from Virginia, not endangered species

During the demo of the bathroom at my place in PA we found a receptacle in the wall behind the shower stall wall.......

Still the same movie. The Brando character exposes some crooked cops and IMHO leaves the impression that he was working undercover.
I think the movie is hilarious. I think somewhere in it the Brando character says that the Godfather movie was based on him. LMAO.

Breaker panel in shower was found in a Fort Worth, Texas home. The homeowner was complaining the water was not hot.

Better go check the water heater...



Uhhh, why are there two water heaters?

Oh, we installed a second heater because the water was not hot enough... but it did not help. That is why we called you.

Paging Rube Goldberg. Does the water flow serially through the heaters, or parallel wise?

The left one has a vent pipe running diagonally, gas fired?
Could the right one be a softener?
I know it is a mess.

Certainly speaks poorly for DYI projects, at least I assume that is a DYI. A professional doing that needs to lose his license.

I think the second heater is employed by the government, to surveil the efficiency of the first heater.

As a DYI(do-yourself-in) project, maybe it's designed to poison the house occupants with carbon monoxide.

I know of no limits on snapping turtles. I don't even see them mentioned in the Pa. Fishing regs. Michigan recently lowered its daily limit to 25 per day. My younger brother has done several turtle soup ventures per year for the past 20. 6-8 weeks ago, he sent and got a 2 part DVD of how to clean 'em fast and efficiently. He's done 5 or 6 turtles since he got the videos. He did 3 of them in a little over 3 hours. With pliers, you pull on the #10/0 hook and bonk the turtle on the nose and he'll extend his neck, whereupon you whack it off. Stay away from the head. It can still bite hours later. His cleaning table has a board in the middle with a large spike driven through facing up, and you turn the turtle upside down and smack it down over the spike to hold it, and from that point you go on to separating the legs and cleaning. The guy who did the video is from upper Michigan and his Grandma had a restaurant that sold "famous" turtle soup. He said his Grandma could kill and clean a turtle in minutes.
