The outpourings of a deranged mind

Ironing

It has been said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. Nice party trick, but it wasn’t his greatest trick. No, that was to convince the world that ironing existed. It’s a little known fact that ironing didn’t exist until 1994 when it was created specifically to annoy me. Before that there was no such thing as creases and clothes would come out of the washing machine crease free. People’s memories of ironing previous to this are these just to perpetuate the myth that we need to iron. True Story.

    Hmmm, so these ironing memories pre-1994 are fabricated? (Like my pun?)

    Erm, like some Top Secret Agency has forced us all to think that we ironed before this time?

    Or the aliens in The Forgotten doing some reverse experiment where they plant false memories rather than taking them away?

    Hmmm.

    I like it.

    “I refuse to prove that I exist”, says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

    “But”, says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn’t it? it could not have evolved by chance. it proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.”
    Life’s too short for ironning… but I do spectacular stuffed mushrooms.

    Mushrooms are evil and another work of the devil. :)
