Nursing Home + Human Washing Machine
Nursing home + human washing machine = A lot of prunes?
With an electronic whir, the machine released a dollop of "peach body shampoo," a kind of body wash. Then, as the cleansing bubbling action kicked in, Toshiko Shibahara, 89, settled back to enjoy the wash and soak cycle of her nursing home's new human washing machine."
Um. This irks me.

Why do I have a sudden urge to go and listen to My Iron Lung by Radiohead?
