“ If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,’ the Walrus said, That they could get it clear?’I doubt it,’ said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear.”
~ Lewis Carroll
Remember Sisyphus? Apparently, this famous figure from Greek mythology was something of a bad dude. He had the horrible habit of killing his visitors just to show off his power. The gods thought this was bad manners at the very least, going against their sacred traditions of hospitality. So they punished him with the gift of a heavy boulder that he was to push to the top of a mountain, only to have it roll to the bottom, over and over, for all eternity.
