Smoking hole or a cage?

At the Maltermeister Turm in Goslar, Germany, the enterprising owner found a novel way to beat the new smoking ban, and accommodate customers who complained about having to freeze their butts off in the biting cold every time they went out for a smoke. He cut out three holes in the wall, a bigger one for the head and two smaller ones at the sides for the arms. Now, smokers in need of a nicotine fix can happily pop their heads and arms though these “butt holes,” and puff away while their bottoms stay warm and toasty indoors.

Although it was conceived as a joke, the concept has proved popular among customers. If nothing, the rear end view of the smoker from the inside of the bar could make for some great bar room conversation.
