Everyday Curiosities

In all of Linköping there is just one tea store that sells cactus tea. There used to be at least three stores where I could get nicely flavoured cactus tea, but there’s just one decent place left. And I’m talking about the tea shop downtown; I know that there’s a store in Tornby that sells something they call cactus tea, but that’s just perfumed rubbish.
After I stocked up on the good kind the other day I browsed the teapots in the store, and found something really curious:
This picture doesn’t really convey the full extent of the pot’s strangeness. I really don’t see the point of this design - it looks like the shunned lovechild of a hash pipe and a teapot. In fact, I have a nagging suspicion that it would be possible to use this to smoke various things if one did some minor modifications. I’m sure there are more knowledgeable people than me who have tried it already.
I saw another funny thing yesterday when I went to the bathroom at work:
My useless cell cam couldn’t take a sharp enough picture, and it’s in Swedish anyway, so I’ll provide a loose translation:
Toilet Quiz
Q: How many engineers does it take to change an empty toilet paper roll?
A: Apparently many since it never happens here.Q: What IQ is required to know the difference between a urinal and a toilet?
A: (Can’t remember exactly; something to the effect of “must be pretty high ’cause you people pee on the seat”.)Tie breaker: What’s the brush in the corner used for?
Yes yes, typical dull humour that nagging bitches find amusing. (Okay, I did smile a little as well.) The really funny part is that someone wrote a reply to the last question:
When there’s no toilet paper left.
Ka-ching!
