I believe it is a dream that is not likely to happen. Probably a pipe dream because it will quickly go down the drain.- through the pipe of course.

Musing while smoking (as in smoking a pipe). Even English poet Tennyson found inspiration in a pipe and quipped that he smoked a pipe over every line of his poetry. Many writers of previous years smoked while they thought. The old black and white movies stereotypically show some thinking person doing their best thinking with a pipe in hand.

No, a pipe dream is what happens after you smoke certain, ahem, types of substances in a pipe. It's a pipe dream because it's not real. You are hallucinating if you think it could happen.

something that plumbers do?
Serioulsy I think it is just a dream. Not the kind you have at night, but a dream you know will NEVER come true like one day waking up taller or being cured of diabetes ect.

it is properly worth a attempt. the appropriate way i will imagine of to do that is that on that day all partaking askers submit a request in the proper description to be form and respectful of their solutions in observance of the R&S Love Fest. actually, it really is not any longer a foul thanks to set up your questions at any time you choose. once you imagine about it, each and each and every of your questions is a mini-communicate board you're information superhighway hosting.
