HOBART—In a groundbreaking lifestyle change, local man Jason Mulroney declared he is not lazy but merely in “power saving mode.” “Why waste energy on mundane tasks?” explained Mulroney, lounging on his couch surrounded by unwashed dishes.

When asked if he planned to engage in any activities, Mulroney outlined his routine: “It mainly involves napping. My duvet has more frequent flyer miles than I do.” He credits this regimen for his remarkable ability to avoid any interaction with vacuum cleaners or brooms.

Fascinated researchers are now studying Mulroney, eager to understand this energy-efficient scheme. “His reclined, horizontal philosophy may be the future of household dynamics,” said lifestyle expert Anna Green. For now, Mulroney is happy to contribute to energy conservation, just as long as it doesn’t involve lifting a finger.
