I was in a hotel in New York recently. Nothing fantastic but clean and comfortable.

I had a good nights sleep, and when I got up, I couldn't get the shower to work.

It was one of those with two taps, hot and cold but the hot one wouldn't turn.

I phoned down to the front desk and when the nice man answered I told him the tap was stuck.

“Tap?” he said.

“Yes, I replied, “The hot tap won't turn.”

“Oh,” he suddenly exclaimed. “Faucet!”

“I did!” I replied. “Now I can't turn it off!”
