Illus-Boy, go get your momma...
A country farmer and his boy ventured to the big city for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this father?"

The walls opened and the lady walks between them and into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched, small circles of light with numbers above the wall light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out. The father said to his son, "Boy, Go get your Mama." You are a new creation, the old has gone the new has come. dec98

First, he got a rag and some soapy water and began to clean the outside of the appliance. He was sure that the odor would disappear with a good shine, and so he polished and buffed and wiped.
