Dunderheads in the Neighborhood

“And we are back.”

“Tonight on our segment, ‘DUNDERHEADS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD’ we ask the question, ‘Is it possible for a man to wash a whole package of Kleenex in a load of wash and if so, what are the consequences? For an answer to this, let’s go to our man on the street, Eine Parodie.”

“Thanks Bob. We are in the rural farmland of Ferndale, Washington and we have come across a gentleman who has done just exactly that. He accidentally tossed a full package of Kleenex in with a load of wash. He wishes to remain anonymous, so he has asked to be called Marnie.”

“Tell us Marnie, how did a package of Kleenex end up in the wash?”

“Well Eine, this is allergy season and since my wife won’t allow me to have handkerchiefs anymore since an unfortunate incident involving the greasing of my truck, I have been forced to carry a package of Kleenex in my jacket at all times. My wife taught me to remember three things when washing clothes: dark with dark, white with white, and always empty the pockets. I think remembering two out of three isn’t bad.”

“So, you washed the load. When did you realize something was wrong?”

“Well, I’ve popped the lid on my septic tank a few times and basically what I saw in the washer resembled a tank of wet toilet tissue.”

“So, what did you do with the load of pulp?”

“Well, what could I do? I tossed it all in the dryer.”

“And?”

“And I may have neglected to insert the lint trap, so all the drying paper blew out of the dryer vent onto my back deck . . . “

“Which brings us here to the back deck.

It appears that your deck furniture is flocked.”

“Well, that’s sort of what I said too,”

“I admit that putting up the Nativity Scene and playing Christmas music was a nice save, but it is June and I think your wife is going to figure it out.”

“Yah, she will.”

“So that’s it for this week’s segment of DUNDERHEADS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  Back to you in the studio Bob.”
