Today’s Moron: If You Can’t Trust Your Naked Maid, Who Can You Trust?

September 30, 2008

Today’s Moron is an unnamed character from Florida who found himself home alone while his wife went on an out-of-town trip. So he called a service and had a naked maid come and clean his house.

Yes. In Florida, you can call a service for a naked maid. She comes to your house, strips naked and cleans up. For this, you pay her $100 an hour and you get to watch, I guess. I don’t see the appeal of it, myself. If I had the cash to pay $100 an hour for something, it would probably not involve house cleaning … oh, wait, I see what he was thinking. But that isn’t why he’s a moron. Keep reading.

After a while, he left her alone to clean. This makes no sense to me, either, folks — I thought the whole point of it was to watch a naked lady shake her feather duster and spin around her broom. But our hero went off somewhere else in the house and left her to finish actually cleaning the master bedroom.

When his wife got home a few days later, she found $40,000 worth of jewellery missing from the bedroom, and hubby had to ’fess up. I don’t really know why he did — he could have just told her there had been a break-in. But he was honest, and he deserves a nod for that.

Wait, no he doesn’t.

Nice going, buddy. I think I’ll give you the Weather Station 1 Husband of the Year Award, too.

I Miss the ’70s

September 30, 2008

Does this get your attention? If so, keep reading.

What the — “Mr. Rock?” Okay, that’s a new one on me, and I know my action figure history.

I found Mr. Rock on a website called Plaid Stallions just now. And let me say this: it might just be the greatest website on the planet. If not, it’s definitely the plaidest. It’s run by a fellow Ontarian who’s interested in toys, “fashions” and pop culture of the 1970s, that polyester decade, and it’s right up my alley. I, too, get a little smiley when I find an old department store catalogue and get a real kick out of browsing the leisure suits, classic toys, etc.

Take a browse through this place if you get the chance. It’s really something special.
