A Year Long Spin Cycle...

Soak, Spin, Rinse, Soak, Spin, Hang...

Sometimes full load, sometimes half, sometimes someone throws in a dirty sock halfway.

Sometimes the suds don't seem to rise, sometimes the suds overflow, sometimes it just feels that the washing powder just don't cut it.

This reminds me of a myth. There was once a man who doesn't do his laundry often. One day he decided to wash all this clothes at one go. He piled all his laundry into the washing machine and stomped on the smelly pile to stuff it all in. He lost his footing and got stuck in the washing machine. He lost his balance and flailed his arms wildly. His flailing arms hit a bottle of bleach on the shelf and it toppled onto the floor. Right at this opportune moment, his pet dog came in and peed onto the bleach, sparking an explosion. The heavy duty washing machine caught fire and the circuit board was friend. The washing machine lost its speed control and began to spin wildly. The poor man was literally spun to pieces, blood splattering everywhere.

Now I wonder... Will I suffer the same fate?
