So, I try, I really try to keep the house clean. Do the dishes, take out the trash, take the socks to their “house” (I found out that dirty socks “live” in the hamper. Really? There’s no mailbox for them there, No wooden sign that says, “The Dirty Sock Family”. How was I to know? Well, I know because my wife told me. End of story). Anyway, ya know.

I’m a dumb guy. When I clean, I focus on what you can see. Water specks on the mirror. Yup, I can see that. Clean it. Coffee grounds on the Kitchen floor. Yup, see that. Vacuum it up. Toilet bowl dirty. Uh Huh, I see it. Clean it. Then one day, I see a commercial pointing out the atrocity of a dirty “underneath the toilet bowl rim”. Say what?

I can’t even see the “dirty” toilet bowl rim. If I can’t see it, I mean come on. I don’t want to have to invite a drunk guy to put his face down in the bowl and verify if the rim is dirty or not.

Seriously. Terrorism, the bad economy, Swine Flu, What is Kate’s new hairdo called, is Megan Fox a true Oscar-worthy star who is only hanging back to make the Olsen Twins feel better about their careers? See, those are real problems. The cleanliness underneath the toilet bowl rim – not so much.

I told my wife that I was on “Rim Strike”. It was the principle of the thing. She then told me that only those who cleaned under the rim would get high speed internet in their house. So, I changed my views, but being a part of the “Megan Fox Lifetime Achievement Oscar Now” club, I grumble when I clean under the rim.
