[Panel 1]
[Elizabeth]
Nils, you remember that
program you were going to
write to run the dishwasher?

[Nils]
Er, yes, sort of...

[Elizabeth]
You mean you haven't
started yet. Good.

[Nils]
I was going to get round to it.

[Elizabeth]
Could you shelve it for a while?


[Panel 2]
[Nils]
This has to be the first time
someone has asked me to hold off on
some programming. Usually they want
me to have done it last week.

[Elizabeth]
It's just that I'm not sure
we can evict those mice.

There seems to be some question
about whether the dishwasher
is furnished or not.

[Nils]
Argh!


[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
More seriously, I don't
think it's a good idea
to use the thing anyhow.

Maybe we should
just get rid of it.

[Nils]
And why should we not
use our own dishwasher?

[Elizabeth]
A long time ago my parents had a
washing machine that got mice.

[Nils]
So?

[Elizabeth]
They managed to make
it run backwards.


[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
First it span, then it emptied
itself, then it filled with cold...

[Nils]
I think I see where this is going.

[Elizabeth]
Yes. When Ma opened it,
the kitchen was suddenly
full of hot soapy water.

[Nils]
Oh.

OK.

We'll just have the most
expensive mouse-palace in the
ENTIRE WORLD, then, I suppose.
