The Groupon Guide to: Washing Dishes
Thanks to outbreaks of contagious diseases such as lantern lung and ennui, washing your dishes properly is more important than ever. Here are some tips:
- In the Roaring Twenties, it was common to use a dish just once before donating it to an orphanage for wayward boys or grinding it up to use as pelican bait. Not anymore.
- When cleaning a dish, remember to always use soap or water.
- Soaking your dishes in a warm bath of vinegar will break the dishes' molecular bonds and cause them to reform into tiny sculptures of your own hands.
- Instead of hauling water from your local well to wash your dishes, simply drop your dishes into the well. This won't clean them, but it will anger any vagabonds living down there.
- Save time by throwing your dishes into the washing machine along with your clothes.
