Letter: Setting record straight on falsified flummery

Published 6:00 am Thursday, January 23, 2025

We, the Shining-Night-Anti-Back-and-Forth-Method Experts Association on Moppery need to set the record straight about how to mop correctly. The B & F method has a major flaw-for-flummery as Mr. Lee Barker calls it. If a janitor mops with this antiquated method, the dirt stays squished in the corners.

We (the SNAB&FMEA) who now have 60 years of exquisite mopping experience, are here to inform the population-at-large that the figure-eight (FE) is the only way to successfully clean a floor!

An added benefit we might add for Mr. Barker to send on to Mr. Woodley (Dean of Acting) is that while executing the Figure Eight method, you can add a few geometrical dance steps to the flow and the mopping of every floor at the university will now have two purposes: cleanliness and artistry. (Maybe this could become a double major at Upper Metolius State.)
