Cleaning Day
For the 42nd year running, Shalampax’s annual “Clean Your Apartment Day” has been cancelled due to pervasive slothfulness, universal slobbishness, and an overall lack of interest. Please feel free to allow your filth to accumulate for another year.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Filth? How can you see the filth under all the detritus?
@Doctor Faustroll: We layer our filth and detritus in alternating layers. So, while it is true that we can’t always see our filth for the detritus, there are times when we can. And we always know it’s there. That constancy is comforting for us.
I can’t believe that anyone has bothered to put this ill-fated event on the calendar for 42 years – who wasted all that time and energy????
Besides, what would the Shalampax government do with all the filth and crap if it was shoveled out the door of each apartment? Do you have a landfill or just throw everything in the ocean?
@David: Yeah, some idiot put it in the calendar 42 years ago and we keep forgetting to tell the printer to remove it when the new calendars are printed. Then, as the day approaches, someone invariably notices it in the calendar and complains.
We just dump our garbage into the ocean. We feel that once it’s out of Shalampax it’s no longer our problem.
Oh, thank you, Stickinthemud! I was procrastinating, as usual. The dust is only an inch thick, I think I can wait another year.
@Screaming Me-Me: Yes, common sense suggests that you need to clean it up only when there is insufficient headway between the top of the dust and the ceiling for you to move around the room. Slithering on the floor is an acceptable way of putting off cleaning for several more years.
It’s little things like this that make me love your tiny little country all the more.
@app103: Yes, we are a lovable people in a lovable place, provided you’re a really sick and twisted individual.
