I have an idea for a play about a family who runs a laundrette; the eldest son works through the night, where he gets high on the fumes from the dry-cleaning machine, and ends up ruining an entire overnight run of laundry for the local hospital when he puts it by mistake into a large vat of green Rit. It's working title is Laundry's Journey into Night. Of course the son dyes in the end.

Somewhat along the same lines, I was in Germany some years ago when the film The Longest Day opened there. I couldn't understand why it was such a smash hit until I went to the cinema and discovered they were running it in reverse.

that's just bad, no matter what you call it...

Well, these ghostly parodies are all usually pretty bad, or weird, eta, being mostly a newspaper copy-editor thing (nothin' peronal-like, ASp and wow ). But it isn't really a quality thing.
