    Gad! You live in a total appliance orgy! How do you sleep at night? Aren't your pipes banging?

    You should see my stove. It burns with a fiery passion. And my iron gets so hot that it shoots steam out of its holes. But my water cooler seems to have a split personality. It serves cold and hot water.

    Your water system has gone plumb crazy.

    In my case, my sink is a geological phenomenon. Seriously. For the last several years, there have been occasional times when I have heard odd, high pitched, pinging sounds that I haven't been able to track down. Eventually, I end up in the bathroom and find shards of enamel scattered around the sink. The force of the explosions are fairly impressive, as shards have been thrown a couple feet, at least. This went on for a year or two, then went dormant for well over a year, until last week, when a series of minor eruptions scattered shards all over the sink, though none of the shards made it very far.

    So you may have erotic appliances with more tension than an afternoon soap opera, but I have an exploding sink. It's all good fun.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    I don't have a water tank and instead have "on demand" hot water. Does that make my boiler a bit of a slut?

    I'm also tempted to make a joke about my shower giving good head but that would indicate that my minds in the gutter. On the flip side it would leave me laughing like a drain.
