Day 71 - 20.04.2012

After several days, my new dry cleaner claimed that they could not wash any of my items. 

On a whim, I passed by my old cleaner (based in a petrol station) and discovered that they were open. The had not shut as I had previously thought.

I picked up my items today. The teddy bear was still unclean. Not to be dry cleaned, they said.

The shop-keeper (the father) gave me some advice on how to brighten the bear. Apparently I am to use some brake fluid on the stuffed toy. I need to spray this on with a paint gun, leave it to dry and then brush the residue off. I need to then repeat this process with water. He claimed to have worked for the Hilton Hotel, and cleaned their curtains at a cost of $200,000 over a twenty year period. I think he was talking about a single set of curtains, and the Hilton Hotel may have been a pub in the suburb of Hilton. It was a little unclear, as he does not speak English and I do not speak Arabic.

Enthusiastically, he led me to the sales rack of car products. I shook my head politely at all suggestions.

Please note, this same shop sells Mars bars for $3.85 and Cadbury Crunchies for $5.50. I believe these are the prices of the future (2040!).

In other news, I no longer have diabetes - rocking roll! I celebrated by having a chocolate spread sandwich for lunch today. This also explains why I am large again. Diabetes was good for one thing - it acted like a tapeworm and ate all of my body fat. 

Perhaps I need to have another baby in order to return to thin.
