That's why I want to trade him--he's a walking mess maker. It is extraordinary. He can go into an ordinary kitchen for a sandwich and leave every cupboard door open, AND get peanut butter on every surface, even the vertical ones. His room has at least 1 book, 3 papers, 1 penny, 1 piece of wire, and 2 pencils on/in every shelf, drawer, etc. I won't even describe the miscellaneous crap that that is mixed up with it. I have lived with him for 20 years, but I still am not sure how he gets all his stuff so evenly spread. He DOES wash dogs, though. But he never combs them. Consequently the dogs love him and hate me when I have the comb out. Right now, I would trade him for a dirty sock. A clean sock would be taking advantage. . .
