Home Maid service

A recurring glossy insert in the local paper for a Maid Service states:

"Our mission is to improve the quality of your life by delivering total satisfaction and world-class customer service or it's FREE!

Now here comes the good part. Ready?

"Statistics Show... When your home is cleaned on a recurring basis...your quality of life will improve by over 2,000%. The results are a simpler, healthier and happier life."

No, that is not a mis- type "over 2,000%%!!

I don't think if they sent 6 super models in French Maid outfits that my life would improve 2,000%. I probably would die of a heart attack, but come on now, who comes up with this stuff.

2000% - That's like what ... 20 times? If my life improved by a factor of 20, I would need surgery to remove the f****ing smile from my face!

(What movie is that from?)

I need a new maid. Mine moved away and I haven't looked for another one. 2000% would be wonderful but I'd be happy with less dust and clean floors at 100%

I'm rather certain if that happened to me, my life would definitely improve 2000% or more.

Your life would be worse, they are such "high maintenance"
And they sure ain't gonna clean.
