Versatility

We went out last night to Rio Scenarium, a "cultural pavilion" in Rio's old downtown area. They have live bands that play samba and bossa nova, and everyone dances. It's a place full of people, Brazilians and foreigners alike. We saw one particular man whose shirt would have been very useful for a number of purposes other than a shirt.

Julie and I went back and forth, trying to one-up one another with our suggestions, and we finally got to laughing so hard we were crying. Here is what we came up with:

• curtains
• sofa
• pillows
• ironing board cover
• toaster cover
• drapes
• chair
• ottoman
• dust ruffle
• tablecloth
• chair covers
• headboard (in a hotel only)
• placemats
• seat cushions
• shower curtain
• toilet paper roll cover
• toilet seat cover (the top part, not the actual seat)

Pictures to come. Your suggestions are welcome.
