I knew a German drug addict called Karl.
He used to break into people's homes rob them and then wreck the place just for fun.
One thing he loves to do in people's homes is to put a brick in their washing machines and start it. Of course the brick bounces around during the wash and totally kills the machine when it spins.
Recently Karl passed away in his sleep, which is sad news, but now...
Washing machines live longer with Karl gone.
