Priceless! Sometimes I let the laundry go ... ah, er, a leetle bit long before doing it, and clothes pile up in the hamper as a result. Our hamper is a large round woven basket with a lid that looks like a Chinese hat. One time I let the laundry go for so long that the lid, placed on top of the clothes, was a good 12 inches from the rim of the basket. When I was out of the house, my husband of 16 years arranged all dark clothes at the top, drew three or four sets of slanted eyes on white paper, cut them out, and taped them to the dark clothes so it looked like people were peeking out from under the hamper lid. When I saw it, I laughed until my eyes watered. And then I did the laundry! ;^)
But the funniest ... perhaps the saddest ... part was when my sweetz related the incident to some folks in his office, laughing at his own joke. One of the women there -- an attractive gal in the process of opting out of her third marriage, youthful looking because of regular Botox treatments, made plenty of money, but still was unhappy with life -- was NOT amused at my husband's tactic.
"Your wife must have a lot of repressed rage," she warned.
*sigh* Some people just don't get it.
Probably why SHE is opting out of her third marriage. Reminds me of a joke: Scientist have determined that 1 out of 4 people is a freak. So pick out 3 of your friends; if they are OK, then IT'S YOU!!!!!
