Funny Plumbing

I’m a respectful traveler. I mean it really wouldn’t do to burst into laughter in downtown Tehran. But when I saw this plumbing in a very chic Parisian hotel, I can assure you I dissolved into giggles. I can just imagine a counsel of Frenchmen over a drawing board adding another pipe ici and another knob ici. C’est perfect!

So I photographed said plumbing and sent the image to a few friends asking them to add a caption. And they sent the photo on to a few friends, brothers, parents. These are a few of my captions and theirs.

Isn’t it delightful that a tiny gem of humor over complicated French plumbing can tickle so many people? Go ahead – crack a smile. Send us a caption of your own.
