Larry and Mick and the Tempting of the Fate

 

"The house won't clean itself," said Larry to Mick.

 

But then, like a scene from The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the rugs picked themselves up and gave themselves a good shakedown; the hoover got hoovering; the curtains and the bedding fought over who was to be first into the washing machine; the bath grew arms, picked up the Mr Muscle and gave itself a scrub; the Toilet Duck did what Toilet Duck does; and Larry and Mick's clothes tore themselves off Larry and Mick and shoved themselves into the wash basket (because they had no chance against the curtains and the bedding).

 

"We are naked!" said Mick to Larry.

 

"Tiz the price of cleanliness," said Larry to Mick.
