[Vision2020] It's excrementitious!

[Melynda Huskey]

In the interests of preserving my reputation as a housekeeper, I'd like to 
make one thing perfectly clear:  Joan ate that dead mouse cereal before she 
ever met me.  Mine is a clean and harmonious pantry, free from all forms of 
pest and vermin.

Anyone who's eaten at our house can relax now.
