Rarely do I use an invention as ineffective as the dustpan. If soap gets 99% of germs then a dustpan gets 1% of dirt. A dustpan is to a broom as a decorative case is to a phone. A dustpan has the pickup effectiveness of a paper towel. The thing can’t have dirt swept into it to save it’s life. I feel extremely tempted to use a dust buster instead of a broom every time I try to sweep into a dustpan. They don’t work. How can anything possibly remain this ineffective for 166 years?
