Sink Trek...(or, Yeah, I Know It's Late but I Can Still Blog About Anything...)

Real Estate Agent with Hoang Realty

Sink Trek...(or, Yeah, I know it's late but I can still blog about anything...)

Sinks...the final frontier. 

This is the voyage of the Starship, Realtor.  Her mission:  to explore strange new blog ideas, to seek out proof that she can blog about anything, to boldly go where no man (or woman) has gone for a very long time...under the kitchen sink...

(Cue the intro music)       ♫ ♪ Da, daaaa, da, da, da, da, daaaaa..... ♫ ♪♫

Captain's Log: Stardate October 20, 2010.  It's two days past the deadline for Ambassador Buell's assignment to blog about something under the kitchen sink.  First Officer Spock Speck, Engineer Scotty Spotty, and Doctor McCoy Stones have left me to my own devices while I attempt to finish this assignment and submit my report.  After my previous "dis" week I have proceeded with extreme caution, anticipating disaster.

                                              I look under the sink.  Ahh, I've found Spotty.Spotty

 

 

Spotty:  "Captain!  We have a chemical spill and a leak in engineering!  We may need Doctor McCoy Stones down here."

 

Me:  "Spotty, I need you to clean it up.  Fast!  The buyers' envoy from the planet Romulus will be here soon!"

Spotty:  But, Captain...I don't know if we'll make it in time!  There are too many bottles of cleaning supplies in the way! 

Me:  "Good, Lord, Man...what happened?"

Spotty:  "There were too many Comets...they went Kaboom."

Me:  "Spotty, you HAVE to do it, man!  The buyers's envoy will look under the sink!  They always do!"

"Captain."  It's Mr. Speck.  He finally showed up. "It's not logical that the buyer's envoy will look under the sink.  They will never see the spill."

Me:  "You're wrong, Mr. Speck.  They will look!  They will see it!  And if they do miss the spill and the leak, the Klingon inspectors won't miss it!"

Spotty: "We need help, Captain!"

Mr. Speck: "But, Captain, that's not logical.  The buyers' envoy shouldn't care what is under the sink."

Me: "Home buying is not logical, Mr. Speck!  It never is!  They do care!  If they see this problem, they'll look under all the sinks!  Spotty, I'm sending down Mr. Speck to help you with the clean up...he's being too damn logical."

 

(Cue the music) ♫ ♪ Da, daaaa, da, da, da, da, daaaaa..... ♫ ♪♫

 

Tune in for the next episode when the intrepid Realtor tries to figure out why the heck there are 3 bottles of Murphys Oil Soap, 2 bottles of Kaboom, and 3 cans of Comet under the kitchen sink.  Oh yeah, and she cleans up the spilled Comet.

I love it!  The deadline needs to be extended for this one!  Now I'm worried about what Spotty, Speck and Stones are up to under my sink. . .

I'm not a Trekkie but still found this hysterical!  This should at least get an honorable mention! Very clever
