Dear Boss Warlock:
Always check pockets first.
So: a pen got into the dryer and now there's ink all over the dryer barrel. I fielded suggestions from the coven about what to do about the ink, but here's my question for you: how many chickens should I sacrifice?
Unlucky in Utica
Dear UU:
It is a wise witch who understands that there are no purely physical issues.
Annoying as the problem may be, on the grand scale of things, the situation sounds to me to be pretty well contained. In my estimation, one chicken should do the trick.
