Only In Ireland

The Camden Court is a nice, modern hotel. Everything looks very smart and new. The toilets are very spacious, and have those clever sinks where you just have to wave your hands and water appears. Except it doesn’t. If you wave your hand, nothing happens. You can wave until you are blue in the face and no water appears. There is a trick to these sinks. The only way to get water is to bring your hands together from either side. Yes, only in Ireland do they have the sinks configured so that in order to get water you have to pray.

  1. Once Upon a Time in a Fanndom, and a Convention, Far Far Away the Girls of Fanndom discovered – by Circuitous and Subtle Means Known only to Themselves – that the Mens Lavatory’s had, not only a Condom Machine Loaded with Flavored Condoms, but also LOADS of Space and so they Held a Room party in said Loo .. well, I mean, Flavored /Condoms are one thing but Imaginative use of Desperately Needed .. by MEN .. Next to bar Space is quite another !

    Female Persons are SO Cruel !

  2. I used those sinks often over the weekend, and never had to perform a praying attitude. I can understand that one’s perceptions might be coloured by having an established faith; however, we have none here in the Republic of Ireland. Sometimes plumbing is just plumbing.

    1. Actually, no. My perceptions get colours by having a local explain the technique to me, including the joke. I also tested the joke out on some Irish friends before blogging it.
