...Patch a Faucet. The horseradish was only the beginning. As the years passed, other gifts and other boys came to the school. Many of the students were boarders from out of town. The little principal who had started 50 simply ("No one will graduate unless he can set a pane of glass, patch a faucet, and has a year of Latin") found himself getting famous. When the town's contribution to the school's funds ceased, in 1924, Boyden went out and raised money to make up the difference. Governors, judges and college presidents began sending their sons...

When the water is turned on, a jet of mixed water and toothpaste cleans the teeth. One shot of toothpaste is enough to last all around the mouth...
With his "corrected floor space" settled, the tenant turned to Schedule III and added up an arbitrary amount of floor space for "facilities and conveniences." A cold-water faucet in the hallway rated .25 square meters. Private flush toilets rated four square meters, non-flushing toilets only two. Adding up the "corrected" square meters of the three schedules and multiplying the sum by the fixed charge per meter, he arrived at his monthly rent...
