OK, one looks like a bathtub, and the other is often seen in or around a bathtub. That's not the Connection I'm looking for.

What other connection can you derive from this pairing of pictures?

Google Is Great!    :hail:

He made a tiny fortune after he invented a process for heat-binding porcelain to wrought iron to make white

well, I have often been accused of being half baked and/or a big ham.  No matter how you slice it, I am a bit crusty and always in one kind of pickle or another. Lettuce see what the future holds for my store of knowledge.   ::)

To be fair, Hugo deserves all the credit. That boy is one hot chili pepper!    ;D

That's a lot of deli-cious puns. I'll see if I can ketchup later, if I can mustard the will.

You are quite the fungi. After you were baked, they broke the mold. It's time to carb your punning ways - this thread has gone a rye.

Excellent!     ;D

I will leave things as they are for now, while I restore my powers. But be assured that my talents will turnip in another thread soon.  VERY soon!    ;)
