Sign still from Perth 2024 - sadly with tea I do stupid slower ;-)
This is for Tom´s Signs2.
"Our everyday objects and their unusual origin stories
Corkscrew
Corkscrews now often signal good evening, but they are modeled after a military tool called a 'gunworm', a metal claw used to remove misfired ammunition from musket barrels. The corkscrew was formerly known as a 'steel worm'."

This was taken in my very first, no, only own apartment, summer 2007, Braunschweig.
When I finally quit flat-sharing - why ever Ingo went with this "concept" for so many years.
End of 2007 a second flood ruined Ingo´s apartment and he´d promised - and kept word - to move to Braunschweig, if the water comes in. I sure wished for that!
13 years of weekend-relationship was frustrating.
Ingo´d spent that September-weekend in my place. My Brother called on Sunday, we should better come and see ourselves.
The water was so high it flooded the bathtub, so powerful it moved massive cupboards - lucky we were in Braunschweig, not there!
Bonus: After years of enduring a mean neighbor I moved out!

Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love ❤️
...since I'm not a coffee drinker the I LOVE your sign, Iris.
That looks like my corkscrew!
Loved the sign!
That meme you shared made me smile. And who knew that about corkscrews. I guess someone was smart enough to see the similarities in how they'd work. hugs-Erika
Glad I could make you laugh hard, dear Friend Linda. Sadly Henry got lost over the moves... Warm hugs and much love on the way 🥰
... to not being stupid then, Tom!
Didn´t you send me the pic? Kidding ;-)
Yes, fun, huh!
To smiles, Erika and yes, some clever guy was a copy-cat, kinda! Clever, huh, hugs
I never knew that about corkscrews, Iris.
Cute Henry today
interesting about the history of cork screw
I love a good cup of tea, I even leave the tea bag in so it's nice and strong.
Me, neither - interesting series, right, RedPat.
Sadly lost between moves...

Oh, I always set a timer! Not a strong dude here...

I love your coffee sign. Too funny.
So my "Tip of the Day" didn´t really help"!
Cheers!
That was the purpose, Jan!
To being fast with stupid!
I love the coffee mug and Ingo has a nice smile.
Sadly with all the moves I lost the mug... at least I kept Ingo´s smile :-)
