"My plumbing is all screwed up. Because it turns out, I do not own a garbage disposal"

Demetri Martin's quote is an amusing method of revealing his disappointment with his plumbing. He is implying that he has actually been dealing with a pipes problem, and it turns out that the problem is not a malfunctioning waste disposal unit, as he had presumed. This suggests that he had been trying to repair the plumbing problem by replacing the garbage disposal, when in fact he does not even own one. This quote is a humorous method of revealing the disappointment of handling an issue that is not easily fixed. It also serves as a pointer that sometimes the service to an issue is not as apparent as it may seem.
