We’ll start the bidding at $250,000, do I hear $250,000?”

Even if I did flunk that mail-order locksmithing course I can still become a plumber!
Must be very uncomfortable carrying that sink to wherever you put your padlock.
Honey, I’ll be back later. Going to take the sink for a spin.
So THAT’S what they did with the key to the cleanser, tile cleaner and disinfectant cabinet.
The CDC was eventually able to trace back the source of the outbreak to this germ-ridden gas station bathroom. Several people who became the contagion’s first victims all had the same peculiar “bite” mark on their palm or fingers. It was retracing their steps and the subsequent discovery of the faucet’s unique handle that was the key to unlocking this mystery. Ironically, the act of washing their hands to avoid contamination is what led to the health-conscious travelers’ untimely demise.
*nods*
Yes, all of the Gas Station Bathroom Board Members and co-workers were affected. It was a staff infection…
Ahh, I see. So avoiding contamination or becoming contaminated was pretty much a wash.
The key to any successful kludge is ingenuity. It’s obvious the kludger subscribes to this philosophy lock, stock and barrel.
Is this the cold water faucet or is this the hot key?
Yes.
Oh, and BTW: *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze*
*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze* back. Like chair back, only not in stereo.
Cher back?
brilliant! i’ve been wasting a whole pair of vise grips for little jobs like this
When the Gatekeeper is playing hard to get, call in the Keymaster!
I think Zuul comes in here somewhere…
Looking at the smudge around the tile corners and tap footer, she has already been around for a while.
You think this is bad, you haven’t seen the padlock yet. And brother, when you realize which part of the toilet it is, you’ll wish you hadn’t asked.
“honey, did you get the new faucet handle?”
“No, I used all the money to buy the beer.”
“That’s okay. I’ll just improvise………….”

On the East Coast, it’s not considered art unless it insults somebody’s religious faith and is made with elephant dung.
Well sir you are in luck, because that is precisely what are next piece is. Titled “This is what I think of you and your god” it is a classic example of mid-forties racist sculpture and was a defining piece of the William J. Simmons collection and one of only three to survive the retaliation they received. The starting price is 75,00 and is a silent auction.
my preciousss… *gollum*
i would so do that
What isn’t shown is the other half of the Elvish riddle. You have to insert that key in order to be able to turn the knob. A truly dastardly trick to be sure.
In the event you brush your teeth here and wind up with lockjaw…
a key part of my day is a glass of water!
Note: Closing side smooth; Opening side spiked!
Now we know what to do with all those keys leftover from locks that have been lost!
I feel really bad for the people who own that, cause what if you need to use the key. Seriously. Ur going to have to carry the whole sink to the front door just to open the car, Good Luck on that.
As FSbert said above, nice way to remember that!
