[Marge is interviewing the two hookers whose clients were the two suspects]
Hooker No. 1: Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.
Marge Gunderson: In what way?
Hooker No. 1: I dunno... just funny-lookin'.
A couple of weeks ago Inam [HB 13 & 16 or 17] asked me to get his some safety glasses. Fine. No problem. Next time I'm downtown I can pick some up. I found some here at the Commissary on our compound so I got them for him. What happened to the pair he had when he worked for us before? The man would wear what looked like scuba diving glasses, a face-mask and gloves when he would clean the bathrooms or do the floors. You'd think I was asking him to clean with industrial-strength chemicals. I'm not. And, I'm not really making fun of him, although it is rather comical, his cleaning get-up. I wear gloves when I clean. Don't blame Iman at all for wearing gloves. I will happily supply gloves. I don't, however, wear a face-mask. Looks like a mask a surgeon would put on - or what the dental hygienist wears. It's only Lysol in the bathrooms, and either bleach or ammonia on the tile floors - diluted, at that! I don't quite get the safety goggles. If I can get his permission to take a picture of him, I'll post it. In the meantime, four days a week when I see him in his get-up, there is no way I can help but smirk.
I washed dishes in bleach, my housemate in ammonia. I retired the bleach to the laundry room and switched over to avoid that special accident of household chemistry (di-chloramines, i just looked it up). If a fellow is so unfamiliar with chemicals that he wants to mask up for Lysol i would not want him to have access to both. And don't tell him that the lysol spray is 180 proof.
ReplyDeleteI would never allow him to MIX any of the cleaning products, vermindust. Sometimes bleach is available here and sometimes it isn't - when it isn't, we use ammonia. My goodness, I didn't know Lysol was 180 proof! No wonder he wants gloves, a mask and eye protection.
ReplyDeleteMight be possible, might not. But I won't bet on a typical worker to know chemical constituents & proper safety procedures. In our case, its mostly he-wore-it-so-i'll-wear-it, or in the case of one specific factory worker of my dads', he as an absolute phobia of something falling on his feet. That dude wears safety shoes 24/7. Literally.
ReplyDeleteLysol is 180 proof?! Hmm... *chuckling evilly*
