clean the screens of those touchy-feely monitor screens? The soft ones
that give a little if you touch them.

Don't want to do any damage to someone else's machine.

Walk over them eating anything that sticks up.

Oh. um. Yes. A very very slightly dampened tissue will do the job,
followed up by a dry tissue to get the moisture off. Don't use anything
apart from water.

Ahem - but i want to return Em's computer to her in the state I got it:
sans woodlice-footprints.

However, if they want to come and crunch the gingersnap crumbs out of my

There's bit of variety over on the number pad, rich tea crumbs and a few
bits of fruit cake. Been there a while, too.

Do you want this very small bottle with a Seal of Solomon on it? Seems
to have got down between the O and the P keys.

Tastes like brass. There seems to be some Arabic writing on it; we
think it might be "best before AH 1419".
