The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!

I love the (currently one) down vote on your post. Clearly not a connoisseur of René’s work.

Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!

Nicely done.

It really isn’t, because this is what I see:

If you use Jerboa, don’t be fooled, the image I uploaded isn’t actually broken. This is just what broken images look like.
