Monday's with Murray was off this week. It should return next Monday. In its place, we offer a free sample of Saturdays with Slippery Sleuth, this blogs secret, daily, subscription e-mail newsletter glimpse into the life of one Manville's founding fathers (by invitation only). For those of you who do not know the history of the nickname "slippery sleuth," this entry is not for you.
Jim (the water purifier salesman who came to our house to test our water): So who drinks the Zephyrills water?
Murray: Me.
Jim (scoffing): That's the worst bottled water you can drink.
Slippery Sleuth (proud that unlike Murray, he hasn't poured his money in crappy bottled water): I don't. I drink a Nalgene full of this tap water. Ha ha.
Jim: (holding up the test tube of tap water) As you can see, the water you are drinking from the tap is very hard water and is basically chlorine and sediment. This stuff is almost lethal.
Slippery Sleuth: (silent)
Jim: Now, Jason, come here and try washing your hands with the tap water, and then with the purified water.
I washed my hands vigorously under the alternating streams of "pure" and "unpure" water.
Jim: Feel that!! Feel how your hands are all SLIPPERY?!? They're SLIPPERY aren't they? (looks at Brien who has begun to laugh) You want to try? Look at Jason, he's all SLIPPERY.
Slippery Sleuth: (laughing hysterically) Look at me Murr. I'm all SLIPPERY.
Murray and Slippery laughed at Jim all the way out the front door.
the end.
