My Lint Collection |
Go ahead - call me an early adopter. While other folks may collect old standbys like stamps or cars or baseball cards or coins, I'm on the cutting edge of what will soon be the newest trend to sweep around the world - collecting lint!
Why collect lint, you may ask? Well, that's pretty easy to answer. It is inexpensive to collect, it is easy to find, and, most importantly, you can get a LOT of benefits from your lint collection. What kinds of benefits? Well here are just a few:
I'm sitting on the couch, watching a game, and my wife says, "Rob, would you please take the dog for a walk?
Well, gee- I'd like to, but if the dog gets up and moves around, she'll disturb my lint collection. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm taking a nap, and all of a sudden, I hear, "Rob, would you cook us a pizza for dinner?"
Pizza? What a great idea! But wait - I can't cook pizza, there's lint in the way. What's the number for pizza hut?
Ahhhh...what a beautiful sunset off our deck. And then I hear, "Rob, would you please dust in the family room?"
Dust the family room? You're kidding, right? After I spent so much time deciding how to best display my lint collection on the various pieces of furniture?
It is morning. I'm just waking up over a Krispy Kreme donut and a 32 ounce Pepsi, when I hear, "Rob, could you do the laundry this morning?"
You know, even though I am on the cutting edge of this lint collecting movement, you'd think everyone would realize that lint is dry clean only. No way am I going to risk doing laundry around any part of my lint collection!
"There are dog hairs all over the family room - would you run the vacuum real quick?"
The vacuum? No! No! No! No! The home insurance will NOT cover any damage done to my lint collection by the vacuum. Sorry - no way Jose. I can't run the risk. We can vacuum next week. Maybe.
"Quick, Rob - bring me the phone. The home shopping network is having a GREAT sale on that matched luggage I want!"
I'm sorry, Paula - but I just CAN'T pick up the phone or the handset. I am really, really, really sorry. Maybe they'll have the luggage on sale again next year.
"Rob, mother will be here in an hour."
Your mother is coming? Oh gosh, it's too bad there's lint in the way and she won't be able to get in the house.
"Rob, would PLEASE get off that couch?"
Well, gee- I'd like to, but, you know, my lint collection. I just couldn't run the risk of messing it up.
As you can see, collecting lint as a hobby can be fun and rewarding for almost anyone. But it isn't always a bed of roses, you know? Oh wait - maybe that analogy is accurate. Roses have thorns, don't they?
