I told my wife jokingly that we were going to move into our house before it was actually finished... she asked if it would at least have running water, and my reply to that was:

"Of course, it will have running water... hand crank right next to the sink, you crank, you get water."

She didn't find it nearly as amusing as I did, until I explained to her that she could crank just a few times and get a few gallons of water depending on the pump, and it didn't require that much effort, but would save on electricity. Then, she found it quite appealing.

Of course, I don't know that I'll actually do this, but hey, it was a good joke, anyway.
