Arlo Guthrie tells a story about needing to find some old magazines that he was sure were in his basement. After all, they'd been there for years. He couldn't find them, so he asked his wife about them.
"Oh," she said, "I cleaned those up last spring."
"They're not 'cleaned'", objected Arlo, "they're _gone!_"
"Well," said his wife, "I don't think you can get much cleaner than 'gone.'"
