    I love this. Certain surgeries absolutely involve some amount of “plumbing”, e.g. connecting the blood vessels in a pig heart transplant (I think they even refer to it as plumbing, perhaps informally). And I think it’s very accurate to say that plumbers, electricians etc. are to houses as surgeons are to living creatures.

      I got a novel plumbing job from a surgeon!

      I got genital nullification surgery. With My weiner removed, I needed somewhere to pee from. So the meat man plumbed My urethra downwards to around where cis women keep theirs, sans clam. I have what’s called a meatus, which is a medical term for an opening on the body. The end of My hose is neither a male nor female socket. It’s not a socket at all!
