Working Smarter, Not Harder: A Closer Look at Laundry
POSTED May 7, 1:08 AM
Ah, laundry.  I think we can all agree that we love to hate it.  Also, I think no other chore in the house is more of an affront to our manliness than laundry.  That is precisely why I have devised a better way to do this dreaded chore.  Most people would say that laundry should be part of a daily chore routine (see fools) and that it requires fastidious attention to detail as it is akin to a science with all the right angles, measuring amounts of liquids, etc.  I look at it as more of a death match.  An ultimate struggle that I face not only externally with each piece of linen I mangle, but internally as I re-examine my masculinity, that is until recently as I have found a better way.  A better way is what has made this country of ours great, and I will share this with you, free of charge, as so my brothers may learn a valuable lesson.  I have compiled a list of ingredients that are necessary for a successful laundry session.  Pay close attention.

It is really simple actually.  If you did not figure it out, then here is a review:

  1. Make huge, manly pile of laundry
  2. Force feed children old enough to fear you into action
  3. Confine all children young enough to get in the way, as they will take pleasure in unfolding
  4. Fold until bored
  5. Play console game of choice
  6. Repeat steps 4  & 5 until completed

Remember, laundry doesn't fold itself unless you have the help of little children.  Good luck and happy folding.
