A Taste of Honey

"Sophomores Fear New Scooter Technology" is the smartest thing the Daily ever printed. I think if it weren't for that, we'd all be ruled by Segways right now. And what's with spelling Segway phonetically anyway? Segue people.

The Reverend Doctor X. Lucius Dalrymple, Lutheran Pastor, on February 2, 1922, expressed a similar fearful sentiment about the agitating clothes-washing tub:

"Why, the very agitation of the mechanical laundry-tub itself is enough to stir up latent feelings of discontent and wanderlust. I liken its undulations to that of the wanton "shimmying" of chorus girls in the vaudeville musical presentations. Mark my words, if America continues to tolerate the presence of the mechanical clothes-washing device, in no time the ladies of our nation will be gallivanting in skirts made entirely of bananas."

It's a good thing there are people like us and Reverend Dalrymple to keep things decent, and to prevent world domination by Segway-wielding octopenised aliens.
