I’ve noticed some jackass named Gideon keeps leaving Bibles behind. I like to do the cleaning crew a favor and throw those out for them.

Someone left an item with manufacturer’s label of “travel electric toothbrush and vibrator”, still buzzing, in the trash can.
Guy actually rented a room for himself and a blow-up doll. Did not have the lung power to blow it up himself and so help me, called upon the Granny Taser Police Department to assist him. They checked warrants and hauled the poor fool off in handcuffs, minus his plastic playmate.

I can’t explain the car tire, but I might have an insight into this one.
Many of us who make DIY “adult toys and furniture” use PVC pipes for braces or other structural components for frames, spreader bars, and the like. This makes the piece easy to transport as you can just pull it apart and drop the pipes in a bag. (They aren’t as sturdy as items that are permanently assembled, of course, but the portability is an important feature for some people.)

Hm. You know, I just might add “look into designs for collapsible, portable, aesthetically pleasing equipment” to my list of projects I’ll realise when I find the time. (Check back in 10 years or so.) Repurposed gym equipment only goes so far and tends to be on the bulky and/or heavy side. This could also solve problems with storage, come to think of it.

You do have to go to Geneva for it to work though.
Oxford water tastes nothing like Evian. I think they pipe it in from the local swimming pools.

Chlorine is good for you. Now, on the other hand, fluorination…
Brings to mind the shaggy dog story about the room service request for an orange, and apple and a piece of string 12 inches long.
(If you know it, you know it. If you don’t, just groan and be glad.)
Burnt toast doesn’t seem so odd. I know it as a remedy for nausea from a hangover.

“Have you got any stewed prunes?”
“Yes, sir.”
