h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

We have a lots of variations. What I have is toilet in the corridor and sink in the kitchen. Or something like that. No bath, no shower.

Ah, well that explains it a bit. Sorry to be so nosey, it's just what I do. I walk into buildings, and people can't understand why I'm looking around at their ceiling and kitchen cabinets (amongst other things). It's because I'm always curious about how other people build things.

Nothing wrong with being nosey.
The house I live in has been built in very different times, starting with late 17th century and completed in 1960ies. Well, at least they haven't done much since then. Some 5 years ago the plumbing was taken into the house. Up until then there was only a well in backyard. But I have lived here for only a year, so I don't know much of that. Then again, it was all the same in my previous place. But it's not too common. I mean, most of the people do have bathrooms.

Lucky for them, huh? Like I said, I'd be happy to fix that for you, but...

Yeah, I guess I must hire someone else then.

sorry, i can't help you either. i have to attend a funeral that day

Don't worry, it's not likely I'll ever get to it anyway.

Does that then mean that the person who's funeral Pierce was going to go to that day will not need said funeral? Lucky for them, if it works out that way!

Valid point. The drinks should be on them.

Oooo! I like how you think, Hati!

You'd surely like how I drink as well.

I think you may be right!

A friend of mine has the bad habit of quoting things that I said twenty years ago (as a teenager) as if they happened yesterday. One of his favorite is one I said at a party. "I find it's better to start out drinking on the floor, because I'll probably end up there anyway." (Didn't even happen once, but seemed very philosophical at the time).

Is said friend one of the Gemini people by any chance?

sounds like said friend is female. they tend to remember stuff like that and haunt us with it decades later

Ah no, men can do that as well, believe me. And me being a goldfish makes me an excellent target, of course.

He is a guy, actually. His birthday is toward the end of July, but I don't really know the zodiac calender, so...He just spends most of his time in the past. That's where all of his good memories are.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
