I don't know why some women are so thin skinned. I think it's pretty funny.

"I can only assume that's a joke.”

Wow! Nothing gets by this super genius lady!

[Not A Snowbird]

That’s what’s wrong with the world. Too many people have no sense of humor!

[lurk]

That is funny. The one who thought of that label is a marketing ace and deserves a hefty raise.

All your laundry are belong to her?

[null and void]

So what do the male same sex couples do?

I'm NOT going to answer that!

[Tax-chick]

I think it’s funny, too. I hate letting the Male Family Members use my washing machine, but I finally had to after the baby was born, because I’d been up until midnight every night getting it done and couldn’t do that anymore.

Vanessa Truskey, a publicity executive, commenting on the Madhouse trouser label, tweeted: “Lately I can't tell which decade I'm living in. What brand are those trousers?! I can only assume that's a joke.”

I LOL'd, so it was easy for me to tell it's a joke.

It is not a joke around our house. My wife won't let me do the laundry. She claims that I'll just destroy the finer items. I try NOT to dissuade her.

She also claims that yard work is MY job, because she'll just destroy things. I HAVE tried to dissuade her, but she isn't convinced yet.

We both do laundry. There are three laundry baskets: whites, coloureds (correct English spelling), and delicates.

If I’m not sure about something of the wife’s, it goes into the delicate basket.
