On the other hand, there was a more realistic situation in a sitcom from the 90's where an American lady moved to Paris, rented an apartment that was advertised as having a view of the Eiffel Tower... and it turned out to be a dump, and in order to get the view you had to stand on a chair, tape a hand mirror to a broom handle, and stick the handle out the window and maneuver it around until you got the view.
Yet another full drawer in the bureaucracy of my mind, ready to pop open at a moment's notice whenever I can't remember if I need to get turmeric at the grocery store, or if we have enough for the recipe.
