Woman Apologizes For What Appears To Be Clean House

PAWTUCKET, RI–For no apparent reason, Pawtucket resident Estelle Scheide, 53, apologized to houseguests Tuesday for the “terribly messy” condition of her spotless house. “I’m so sorry about this,” Scheide told a group of visiting relatives. “It’s not normally this bad, I swear.” “What was she talking about?” son-in-law Bruce Unger asked. “I didn’t see a mess anywhere. Did she mean the vacuum cleaner that was out? Or maybe that bag of to-be-recycled newspapers by the back door. Weird.”
