There's a song in UK called "On the Monday morning, the gas man came to
call".

A guy moves into a new house on the Friday but someone had painted over the
gas tap so it couldn't turn on.
So, on the monday morning, the gas man came to call.
He had to replace the gas tap so the kitchen units had to be cut around.
So, on the tuesday morning, the carpenter came to call.
He replaced the kitchen bases but couldn't connect the sink.
So, on the Wednesday morning, the plumber came to call.
He fixed the water to the sink but drove a screw into the mains cable.
So, on the Thursday morning, the electrician came to call.
He chased out the wall and repaired cable. That left the decorations in a
mess.
So, on the Friday morning, the painter came to call.
He painted the walls. He painted the ceiling. He even painted the doors.
When he left the kitchen looked great - but he'd painted over the gas tap so
it couldn't turn on.
The Gas company don't work weekends.
So, on the Monday morning, the gas man came to call.
