Jim W, a Window Cleaner


I worked as a window cleaner for a short stint and, let me tell you, this is sick. Oddly enough, there is no dearth of window cleaning videos on youtube.

    Looks kind of like a lumberjack competition, only with windows.

    Reminds me of a fellow who plied the window-washing trade in Madison, Wisconsin years and years ago. Man’s name was Art. A popular T-shirt actually paid homage to him; it bore a legend stating that ART “is a window cleaner” (in answer to the question, “WHAT IS ART?”).

    Actually, Art was nothing like this guy. Art was a big paunch-bellied oftimes ill-tempered drunk. But the night he died I was hosting my radio show, and after someone called in with the news, I played Van Morrison’s “Cleaning WIndows” in memoriam.
