THE NEVER-ENDING FRUITCAKE

by Hazed

Remember the Christmas fruitcake that you could find on various planets, and which was extremely hard to get rid of without inflicting damage on yourself or your surroundings? It seems its even more hard to dispose of than we thought, because despite Christmas being long over, there was still some cake hanging around on Earth. Visitors to Armstrong Cuthbert's office on the home planet kept tripping over it, until eventually the Galactic Administration received so many complaints that the Health and Safety Executive was prevailed upon to send in a crack team of disposal droids to take care of the problem.

Using industrial-strength solvent, the intrepid hazardous waste operatives were finally able to dissolve the solid fruitcake and wash the remaining crumbs and bullet-hard raisins away into the public sewers. Let's hope that's the last we see of the nasty stuff (at least until next Christmas).
