Joke about the plumbers

"... it spread as far as the eye could see, all over the floor of this building. One plumber said, "Look at all that water". The second plumber said, "Yes, and that's just the top of it" ..."

This joke was about two plumbers who found themselves in a flooded building. It was told by Vernon Dursley to Mr. Mason and his wife during a dinner party in 1992. However, Vernon was interupted by noises from upstairs, which were caused by the house-elf Dobby.
