Butt crack

She said, "Hi, are you Clifford? You called for an electrician?"
Any cultural or sexual bias I might have possessed was left behind in college, many moons ago. In two classes, I was the "team leader" of our project. I quickly learned that I didn’t care either about the race nor the sex of my teammates; just get the job done.
Opening my door on Friday revealed the first time I had ever met a female electrician. The past ten years has always brought old, scruffy, stinky male electricians or plumbers with plenty of butt crack to spare.
I explained what I needed to have done. I asked her for a quote. Then we did the traditional "let’s chat about" talk that usually happens between a contractor and the customer. My frustrations about the work stopping became evident. After explaining why, she offered to come back the next day and remove all the electrical causing the stoppage. But, it would have to be Saturday or I’d have to wait a week.
Saturday, she returned.
Up into my attic she went; underneath my house she crawled. Standing in my kitchen, she said "I’m working now." The dirt covering most of her clothes bared that out.
"I’m a plumber too. Actually, I’m a certified contractor. Do you need anything else besides electrical done?"
A smile raced across my face. One stop shopping: I like that. I thought to myself, "I dub thee Wonder Woman."
