By Maddie Stearn on Apr 12, 2016 2 Comments

  • all of a sudden the saloon doors blow open. the town outlaw - a terrifying six foot two in stature - swaggers in with a gun at his waist and a cigar between his lips.
  • before anyone can say anything he plops down next to a washer and tactfully removes the still-sopping laundry.
  • everyone looks at each other. this is detergent dan - wanted dead or alive in at least five counties.
  • he stole from the wrong machine though. what he didn't know is that the laundry he just stole was that of the upstart cowboy.
  • laundry louie looks at the man who just stole his machine. he reaches for his whip as detergent dan casts his baleful gaze over him.
  • now do you really want to do that son? detergent dan asks coldly. 'son.' the word laundry louie had never heard from his lout of a father.
  • their hands tighten around their respective weapons. this means war.
