The Soap Powder

Life is really tough. I walked into the supermarket to get a pack of soap powder for the laundry and I have to stand there for what seemed like hours, trying to make a super classified executive decision ... hmm ... should I be getting the one that cleans brighter and whiter or should I get the one that smells better and gets rid of 99.9 percent of the bacteria??? But the one that cleans brighter and whiter has been loaded with 30% more powder... And the one that smells better sells for 10% cheaper (which is a humongous savings of 30 cents!) But it gets rid of only 99.9% of the bacteria .., And why do they leave that 0.01% behind? Is it so that they can mutate and make us come back for a second helping of the powder and get rid of another 99.9%? Clever marketing ...

Actually it would be easier if they could just come up with the kind of powder that not only washes for you but dries and then iron and fold nicely for you. Seriously I wouldn't mind an extra dollar for that.

Boxing Day

This is embarrassing. I have heard of Boxing Day, which is the day after Christmas. But I never knew that Boxing Day has nothing to do with two men fighting in a ring.

I do know now that Boxing day has everything to do with boxes!!! And why would people fight the day after Christmas?

Dur ....
