Phyllis Diller - Hygiene Killer

  
	Wild-eyed, wild-haired comic, Phyllis Diller
        Here’s why her female fans would cheer her:

            “I heard housework just might kill a gal,” she’d pout
             And then: “I don’t want to be the first to find out!”

Hi Gershon, in between cake decorating jobs in Raleigh I cleaned houses for a few months. The majority of wealthy customers were snooty, the pay was low, the work was hard. After that particular job experience I seemed to develop a kind of aversion to our own dwelling’s housework, much to my late husband’s chagrin. Good poem, Gershon. Shalom u’vrakha :)
