My favorite cleaning story is: After some nagging, I promised my
wife I would clean off my desk by the end of the week, but after a
long busy week my desk was still stacked high with paper work. I
didn’t even have time to go to lunch so had my wife bring me a burger
and shake. I had to stand at my desk eating, there was room to sit
and eat. Trying explain I was too busy to get my desk cleared as
promised, I drop my shake. It landed in the middle of the desk a
exploded, there wasn’t one thing on my desk that wasn’t covered with
milkshake. My desk got cleaned. Moral, don’t make a promise you
don’t intend to keep.
