same time a chance on a Thor

a dish washing attachment. Wash
ing machines have been for a long
time, and ill are something you
speak of reverently and wistfully.
Well some one is actually going to
win this. Maybe you will be the
lucky one. Also just imagine si

and having a modern day Genii
do your dishes with no muss, no
fuss, and no back talk. Every tic
