Title: If men are so great......
Post by: oldspice on July 15, 2005, 08:24:17 pm

If men have such good hand to eye co-ordination, why are they so useless at ironing?


And... if they can read a map, why can't they read a recipe?

40.  As I say, it's not actually necessary to iron anything except proper shirts if you know what you're doing

What do you do with the rest of your clothes, just shake out the creases?
Title: If men are so great......
Post by: on July 16, 2005, 10:35:49 pm
Not quite; you put them in the tumble drier while they're just slightly damp but not wet all they'll shrink.  Take them out while hot and give them one good shake and then hang on a coathanger and there's no creases.

You put your clothes in the tumble dryer THIS TIME OF YEAR? It's been 80 degrees today! What about all that wasted energy! Don't you have a clothes line? This just gets WORSE!

I was talking about in winter obviously.  Yes, all mine goes on the line at this time of year.  But I was naughty and you have to think of a punishment now.

A BIT crude? It was vile and pornographic!


I've got a great punishment for you. You have to do your mum's ironing for a MONTH!

Surely if Bounty can't iron, making him do his mother's ironing would only be punishing her as her clothes would get ruined?


P.S. I had my tumble dryer on yesterday - but I haven't got a garden so what else could I do?

Men are great, simples!  I can iron, make the bed, do the washing, fold clothes, cook, mix drinks, do the shopping and clean the toilet.

I'm crap with money, though...

With respect Dr - I've been able to do all those things since I was ten years old!

But you're a lady and ladies are taught these things from young.  I on the other hand had a very manly dad.
