Before I Forget


Today is laundry day. Just down the block is a little Laundrette. That's what it's called. Anyway, I went in there to do some laundry and I was looking at the machines to figure out how to put money in. I couldn't find anything. So I started reading a sign about the increase in water prices and how the Laundrette had to compensate by charging more for each load. Then I noticed a sign on the wall that said the washes had to be prepaid. OK, i thought. Well a small wash was 9.50 pounds. Seriously? That's insane. As I was talking myself into the rationalization that no one would notice that I would always be wearing dirty clothes, I decided to do some investigative work. I discovered that we have laundry facilities in the dorm. Who'd a thunk? 2.20 pounds for a wash. So guess what, I have clean clothes. Above is an advertisement I saw in the subway the other day that I thought was hilarious. Enjoy!!! Cheers.
