The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CCCXLVII

"Good day, sir. My name is Smush of Mogey and Smush's window washing service," Smush said, addressing the proprietor of the town drugstore. "Would you care for a free demonstration of our services?"

"No thank you, lad," the proprietor replied.

"Come now," Smush prodded. "It will only take five minutes, it's perfectly free, and I can't help but notice all the women and children barfing as they notice your unsightly windows."

"Alright then," the druggist said with a sigh. "Go ahead and try it on our front window there."

Mogey and Smush went to work washing the front window, and true to Smush's word, they were finished in 5 minutes flat.

"There now," Smush said, dusting off his hands. "What do you think?"

"You've literally covered the window in roofing tar," the horrified druggist rejoined.

"You're quite right, sir; it's our patented spot-free formula," said Smush, handing the man a business card. "We hope you'll think of us in the future for all your window washing needs. This concludes our free demonstration."

"That'll be ten dollars," Mogey added.
