Are you smarter than your swiffer?

Do you own a swiffer wet jet?

I've had one for about 3 years now, and they beat toting around a bucket of nasty mop water, hands down. This morning I was determined to mop our floors before heading to class. Slapped the swiffer pad into place, pushed the button...

Nothing.

The normal quiet buzz, accompanied by a stream of cleaner, absent.

I removed the bottle of fluid. Reloaded it.

Attempt two.

Nothing.

Another removal and reload.

Nothing.

I prayed --yes, prayed-- over my swiffer.

God was probably, at this point, quite glad I couldn't see Him laughing at me. Deep belly-laughs... maybe even tears.

When Darin got home he pulled 4 completely corroded batteries from my quite-functional swiffer.
