The Telephone Booth Shower
Back in 1996, two East German entrepreneurs came up with the idea of converting old telephone booths into shower stalls. They plumbed up two booths and sold them for 4000 marks each. However, their idea ran aground when Deutsche Telekom refused to sell them any more old booths, fearing that, in the words of their spokesman, "It would be problematic if someone wanted to make an emergency call and ran into the booth that was actually a shower."

Good thing they didn't use British phone booths and have it mistaken for a tardis.

What a great idea! And why didn't they just install a water proof phone?

Alex: When I clicked on the link I got to a story about a man that claimed to be pregnant; not the shower.
I wanted to know where these were to be placed and maybe they were SHOW-ER. 😊

So this guy needs to call emergeny services and
He sees a YELLOW booth.
He runs to it
There's no phone
So he decides to take a quick shower.
The guy with the heart attack dies.
Deutsche Telekom is sued for €10,000,000.
Yup... I can see that happening.
