We all invent things and maybe bend a a rule or two sometimes to fix an immediate everyday problem or at least work around it in order for the job to get done, we all improvise at one point or another.

However, some Egyptians tend to invent strange and absolutely ridiculous things that actually turn out to serve some sort of purpose somehow in life. These are 10 of the funniest things Egyptians have invented to get through the day.

1. The carton shades and hat combo

If escaping the scolding Cairo heat is the goal, there's no time to worry about the most stylish sunglasses, there's only time to be practical.

2. The half-car, half-carriage mutant

You have to give him some credit though, that half-car looks so bright and cheerful!

3. The "it can fit everyone and everything" motorcycle

Who said a motorcycle can only fit two people? A motorcycle is just as good as a car, basically.

4. The water-flavored shisha

The shisha manufacturing industry really was lacking innovation, this is just raising the bar.

5. The double-compartment bread delivery cycling tray

It takes some real cycling skills to balance wooden trays full of bread on your head.

6. The hairbrush rear-view mirror

It does have a mirror on the back of it, or some kind of reflecting surface that will work just as fine for a few days!

7. The street fountain swimming pool

Those street fountains just look way too appealing on hot summer days.

8. The umbrella car engine protector

You have to protect your car's engine from the heat. Who said umbrellas were only for people anyway?

9. The locked flip flops

You wouldn't ever want to lose your flip flops.

10. The human AC repair stand

We'll just let this photo speak for itself.
