It may be shit to you, but it's bread and butter to me

A typical Plumber to customer remark on viewing a well blocked toilet," It may be shit to you, but it's bread and butter to me"
Embarassed customer- I'm so sorry but the toilets full of floating shit and paper, it makes me want to throw up.

Plumber- Do not worry madam, It may be shit to you, but it's bread and butter to me.
