i'm not making this up

Thursday, April 10, 2008

did you know that there is a national shortage of wire hangers? and your dry cleaner would like you to return any "unwanted" ones? and here I was pretty sure that these things were as fertile as rabbits.

there have been tips and tricks on getting rid of wire hangers in your closet for as long as I've been reading womens magazines with cleaning columns in them (since I was about 10, which probably means something isn't working, since I'm still rather messy). but I guess someone has been paying attention to all those tips, since those hangers have about been purged out of existence.

oh, the problems we face in America.

Check the local dump - I throw those things out on a regular basis. And they DO reproduce, cause I'm not buying them!!

It's the aliens. They're stealing them and using them as fuel for their invisable space shipe. And that's what is causing global warming. The sooner Al figures this out, the better.

I was going to blame it on the terrorists.

i think we stil have lots of wire hangars in Europe...another advantage of living overseas! I could take up an offering & send them to you as a missions project if you'd like.

i think i actually have a bunch in my attic that i was saving to make star ornaments out of some Christmas when I felt all Martha-y. hasn't happened yet. but probably the aliens or terrorists have already confiscated the ones I was saving.

Yes, I heard that next to Plutonium, wire hangers are the most desired metal of would-be terrorists and aliens alike.

Because you look like a hero carting all of them away, that's why.
