How to clean Jpegs

(reposted from an old post of mine on the alt.graphics.photoshop newsgroup)

What I do to clean jpegs:

First, I save them to a floppy disk. Then I take the floppy over to the sink, and run the water luke warm only! Cold water frightens jpegs, and if it's too hot, your jpeg will expand and explode. Then with a nice soft cloth, I put just a dalop of common household dish detergent (Sunlight works best). Then I gently clean it, making sure to scrub behind it's ears, and it's backside (you'd be amazed at how crusty jpegs can get if not properly washed). After I'm done washing it, then I rinse it off gently, making sure not to get any suds in it's wittle bitty eyes. Then I wrap it ever so gently in a nice warm towel, where I sit on the couch with it and sing soft lullabyes to it, until if falls asleep. They are so darn cute when they're sleeping! After that brief nap, I reinsert the floppy into my disk drive, and extract the jpeg, and viola! it's clean as a whistle!
