THE WEEKLY WASHING

One Friday the carer walked in to collect the man's washing and was shocked to find it piled five foot high in the laundry basket.


The man, one of the residents of Meatloaf Lodge, had accumulated so much washing over a period of one week that it built up and built up until it reached five foot high.


The carer, from Articulate Care, said:


"Too much, too much, I can't wash that, you'll have to cut down my boy.
You have stacked the washing up to five feet high".


The man begged the carer to wash and in the end she had to give in and what happened, the huge five foot high pile of washing took up 20 washing machines, but only some could be accommodated in the four washing machines, so she had to go to a nearby launderette to get the remainder washed, for the pile of washing was so huge that it could take up to twenty washing machines.


The carer  warned the man that if he wasn't careful he could fill up every launderette in the whole world with the amount of washing that he accumulated over a period of one week, 'and it's a waste.
Not only that you could deprive other people the chance to put their washing in the launderette with the amount of washing you've built up over a period of one week.
And, another thing, my boy, If you aren't careful your amount of washing could be so huge that it could stretch for one mile.
