I'm Your Man

Facebook is now suggesting that I might be interested in a dishwashing position.

Well, dear Facebook, I’m your man.

You see, when I was 16, I worked in a Chinese restaurant as a dishwasher – so I come from a world of experience.

As a matter of fact, I had been working there for two weeks already when one night I came in the back door off the alley and was about to announce myself to the fellow I was relieving for the evening shift when I saw that he was adding two cups of some kind of white powder to the dishwashing machine before turning on the wash cycle.

“Wow,” I thought to myself, “Soap. And I always thought it had some kind of automatic soap dispenser built into the dang thing. Huh! Well, what do you know?”

So, after that, I, too, started to add detergent to each wash.
