The guy that cleaned our carpets yesterday has quite the resume! He recovered a fumble and ran it back 96 yards to win

the state HS championship, he was the 1987 U.S. powerlifting champion, Kurt Cobain wanted him to play lead guitar for Nirvana but he joined Queensrÿche instead, he convinced Mike “The Body Snatcher” McCallum to fight inside instead of sticking and moving, he also trained Caleb Plant until Plant stole a million dollars from him.

I have fond memories of picking up Glen Fry of the Eagles one time when he was hitch-hiking. He even sang along with the radio...sounded just like him...not.

I'm thinking my carpets are suddenly looking pretty decent after all! No need to do anything with those other couple rooms. Let's just settle up here and you can take the rest of the day off ... Yeah?

Be sure to tell all my friends about your services ...

It’s a lonely and kinda repetitive job giving time for your mind to fantasize about all sorts of things. Truthfully I ‘enhanced’ some facts from my life if only for conversation during breaks. Mostly customers asked what I thought about all day while stroking carpets…I told them Quantum Physics…kinda killed any other questions.

Then Fox News got popular…changed everything, politics took over.
