Friday afternoon at the plant's water cooler:
The students “union” at the tech college in Gothenburg, Chalmers, had shares in the Pripps’ brewing company and always came to the shareholders’ annual general meeting with the proposal of having pipeline built from the brewery to the institute. And always got their proposal turned down ….
Actually a man in the history had it:Doesn't he have a pipeline to the brewery?

"after he won the Nobel Prize in 1922, the Carlsberg brewery gave him a gift – a house located next to the brewery. And the best perk of the house? It had a direct pipeline to the brewery so that Bohr had free beer on tap whenever he wanted"
I'm quite convinced that this was from a former GDR children's book. Another example: A chocolate Santa Claus was called Jahresendzeitschokoladenhohlfigur (= end of the year hollow chocolate persona), a Xmas angel was a Jahresendzeitfigur mit Flügeln (= end of the year persona with wings).
Best regards!
