Final Part -- Dave Barry's Tricky Business

2nd Continuation -- " What i wanna know," said Arnie, " is why bleach?"
"What are you talking about?" said Phil.
" Always with the hurricane, people are buying bleach."
"SO?"
"So. what do they do with the bleach?"
"You need the bleach," said Phil. "In case."
The truth was that Phil had no idea what the bleach was for, even though, like most South Floridans, he firmly believed you needed some. Everybody bought it, because everybody else did. There were hundreds of thousands of gallons of emergency Clorox in cupboards all over South Florida, sitting,, ready and waiting, next to the emergency cans of Spam manufactured in 1987.
" In case of what? " said Arnie. " A hurricane comes, knocks down your house, your're gonna do a load of laundry?"
Phil looked at Arnie for a moment.
" Does it ever occur to you," he said, " that you think too much?"
" Thats exactly what my wife used to say," said Arnie. "She always bought bleach."
" So did my wife," said Phil.
The two old men sat silent for a moment, both thinking about their wives.

Hope you have enjoyed the irrelevance. Merry Christmas.
