It is worth noting that repeatedly washing ones dirty laundry can eventually clog ones drains. Once that occurs, it is necessary to hire a plumber. Good plumbers are very expensive. The mechanics of clearing the clog can cost more than one is willing to pay.
On the other hand, failure to remedy the clog in the pipes causes leaks. Serious leaks also necessitate expensive repairs by good plumbers. Otherwise, simply continuing to wash the dirty laundry without repairing the existing problems eventually can cause ones pipes to burst.
Money laundering in particular is a dirty wash capable of effectuating a devastating bombshell. At that point, one has nothing but an unintended Watergate.

(367 posts)I love this! The leaks, the dirty laundry all requiring propper attention yet becoming larger due to lack of proper attentiveness.
My mind is having a lovely time with the thoughts your writing inspired in me!
There's good fertile ground as BS becomes fertilizer. But it first must be processed so to avoid burning the good stuff.
Thank you for posting it, Sam!

Keep it up -- we need all the relief we can get.

(9,314 posts)I was sitting here thinking late tonight about the man with the washing machine and I started to focus on writing a very pointed thread. But sometimes it is better to clean up and talk about it rather than throw darts.
Thanks for posting on my thread.

Thanks for posting on my thread.

(30,739 posts)Nixon had plumbers to fix the leaks. They ended up being very expensive indeed.
I like your thoughts on dirty laundry. Thanks for posting.
On edit: Before I opened the thread, I thought it was going to be about the Don Henley song.
Samantha
(9,314 posts)but I found these lyrics from his dirty laundry song:
"I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry
"Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry."

Those words and this thread fit together very nicely (especially that first paragraph). Thanks for posting on my thread.
