When I looked at the pumpkin, my first thought was "I'm going to need a bigger trebuchet"

Perhaps he'll take another crack at it next year. Although if somebody were to make a Jack-O-Lantern of their plumber most of the hard work would already be done for them.

I thought the longest leak was achieved after drinking a couple of 6-packs.

Just for the record, I don't think my crack has prevented me from setting any records.
