"Don't get me started on Freud..."

Was in Vienna and went to Freud's office where he worked. It's a really neat place with an inner courtyard, and very charming building. Anyhow, we went inside Freud's place of work, saw the couch he had his "mental" patients lie on while he plied his trade, and some of his personal possessions as well.

As is my want, I had to use the "facilities" and asked the guy who worked there where the "WC" was (that's toilet for us plebians). He showed me to it, and it was a really quaint bathroom with a pull chain for flushing, and when I got out, I asked the gentleman if that was the original washroom from Freud's time. He said yes, so I went back in with my camera and took a picture of the toilet. When I got home I wanted to get the picture developed, blow it up large, and put a sign under it that said "Freud Sat Here". Unfortunately, I had my camera ripped off shortly thereafter in Italy, where pickpockets reign, and couldn't find the picture when I got home. Think some gypsy in Italy who has my camera also has Freud's toilet. Oh well.

LOL What a story! Was that ripoff a Freudian "slip?"
