Good, it is actually a toilet.
But hang on – is it one of those Japanese ones? It’s got buttons and screens all over the walls and doors… and pipes and nozzles… unfortunately, the labelling is in Japanese.
Or:
or, of course:
Can anyone read Japanese?
“May I please play with the buttons?” squeals the lost boy, excitedly.
I wouldn’t… we don’t know what they do.
“I learnt Japanese last year – I’ll be okay. Euch! Yuck!”
What happened?
“I got sprayed with something odd smelling!”
Hmmm… almost like pine needles, but not quite the same.[*]
And all of those pipes… eleven of them?
“Look Dad: they play tunes when you touch them.”
That sounds almost nice, doesn’t it?
But the pipes are so complicated… imagine the plumbers plumbing them.
“But they don’t carry any water… so not plumbers?”
Ok… so, imagine the… pipers piping!
“Shall we move on?”
Yes, let’s do that. There are two doors out… or we can go back and try a different toilet?
[*] Possibly the ALDI version?
