    Laundry duty ...

    Hi there,

    a fun fact about Kelly:

    Kelly, as we know her, was a lawyer in the pre-zombocalypse-time and had to do laundry duty in the Tower as well as the Colony during the zombocalypse.

    Now, here in Germany we have a saying: "Washing someone's dirty laundry." This can be used as an idiom for taking care of "dirty" businesses which, for example, applies for lawyers dealing with the shit happening between people who quarrel and who simply cannot agree.

    In English there is an idiom which goes something like this: "to wash one's dirty laundry in public". As I understand it, this is pretty close to the German saying. And it becomes especially true regarding lawyers. Their business is done in court; and the court is a mirror image of "the people", thus "the public". So, if lawyers debate in court about the quarrel of the involved parties, they "wash dirty laundry in public".

    Kelly had to deal with "dirty laundry" as a lawyer, and now on the WA show she had to take care of dirty laundry explicitely and as literally as it could get. I would like to know if this is just kind of an accidental thing that happened here, or if this happens on purpose.

    Best wishes!
    Liam

    Zombie Story:
    - raises the acceptance of killing humans in huge numbers,
    - reveals everything bad and and even worse about human behaviour and psychology,
    - is fun.
