It looks like the steam cleaner had the good job. Those wipers worked hard in dirty conditions.

How could I be sarcastic, this is IotD. I actually was not being sarcastic. I bet a lot of those gals really liked what they were doing being oilers, delivery pilots, battle tank testers, truck drivers, etc., etc. |

That's what I think too, but I didn't want to be all, "fuck you, sexist pig, women appreciate the satisfaction of a job well done too, now go make me dinner if it's so fun and easy, fuckhead" without any justification.
