Daniel, what kind of logic is this? I was already accused of being on
crack today (but was just too much coffee). Perhaps you might be the one
that's on crack.

I build a pipe. There exists a relationship between a pipe and crap
running through it from my toilet. Does this mean that every time I need a
pipe, that I need to take into account the inevitable connection to crap
to run through it?

God, I can see the problems with my gas lines.
