My owner bathes me after a smoke or two or three or four, and it's really neat when I come home hot and sweaty and he washes me down with hot water, then towel dries me and runs a cleaner up my airway. Then he puts me among all my friends in subdued lighting to dry down a bit- a rest really, as I am not wet.
The latakia he burns in me is the best tasting ever, and keeps his wife at bay. He takes me wherever he goes, and passes on the compliments he gets on my smell (though it usually reminds them of their gramps or an old uncle.)
Sometimes I feel like one of the sister wives, as he sometimes eyes another pipe with lust, but he treats me well, and I know I satisfy him every time. Oh, almost forgot: he uses soft butane to light my fire, and the feeling is just right, not too hot, not too cool. He really can make my ember last, and I prefer one long pulsating ember over a lot of little ones, so few relights most times.

"I really like the hours here. The staff of pipes is so large, we each only work about once every month or two, or three. The rest of the time we just hang out, although it would be nice if we got shuffled between racks and cabinets now and then, so we could get to know a new crowd. Some of the other pipes I can barely see. And I do get bored, occasionally, with the same pipes and their stories and complaints. I like it that my stem doesn't get baked in the sun, so stays somewhat shiny. Some of the other pipes are really old, so that gives me hope for the future. Things are good. I do my work every few weeks or months, get cleaned and polished, and occasionally get to take a trip or live in a different room for a few days. Life is good."
