She Wet My Pipe

[jpmcwjr]

OK, necro lovers!
But, seriously, Michael, I bet all those pipes are now smoking fine, and in fact suffered little, if any. Yes?
As you know, I rinse through the bowl with hot water, and towel dry. Neither the bowl or airway absorb any moisture. They'd have to soak for a long time to do that. Sometimes I fire it up just after such a cleaning, and there's no problem with moisture.

Wait, we aren't suppose to use water to rinse our pipes?

Some necro threads should be brought back for us new guys. Great knowledge and funny stories.
This is one of those. :crying: :rofl:

If I knew then, what I know now... ::

Ah, young grasshopper!! When I was 18, I knew everything. Now into my 8th decade, I am expanding my knowledge of what I don't know. (Just quantifying what I don't know, not expanding knowledge so much.)

Agreed! This thread was mentioned in another one too

Mmmm, lemony pipes...

FWIW, I've started cleaning my "new" estate pipes with warm water and a few drops of unscented detergent. Works great. It isn't quite as amusing as the rest of this thread, though.

Cosmic, Hunter, those were good times!

This was a great old tale to stumble upon today.
