    The Irony of Laundry

    I don't know about you folks with Wives. But my wife has threatened bodily harm to my posterior on several occasions if I did the laundry as I usually screw something up like washing new jeans with something else and it bleeds blue dye on everything.

    But, when it came to doing my detailing stuff "I" was "king" of the washing machine!

    How true that is. I usually bring my laundry home with me from college and my mom ends up doing it for me. Yet, when I am finished detailing I always make sure I do all of my towels, applicators, and wash mitts.

            How about this-- The platoon I was in while in the Marines wore red shorts and white t-shirts when we went running in the morning. Laundry duty was rotated around. One day myself and another Marine had laundry duty. We went around and collected everbodies "running gear" and threw all of it in the machine.

            All the t-shrits turned pink!!!!!!!!

            So the next morning we're out running and here we come big bad Marines wearing pink shirts!!!!!!!


            As far as my detailing rags I haul them down to the local coin laundry to wash. I don't want that stuff in my home machine. I also use 6 to 7 machines at once so itis quicker to wash at the coin laundry anyway.

              Joe I bet you were real popular with the rest of the guys that morning. I think with this bunch that I work with, if one of them did that, they would likely duct tape him to a chair for the morning. For some reason I would find it "VERY" hard to believe that they did not seek a little payback from you guys.

                My style is to wash my own clothes and my clothes only. My dad's clothes are ok to wash, since they are the same type of clothes that I own, but women's clothes are HANDS OFF.

                If you are having problems with colors bleeding onto other clothes, look for a color magnet (i think thats what its called) on the next grocery trip. I'm alway amazed at the amount of color it soaks up from my clothes.

                  I wish I had read this before doing laundry the other day. I dunno what happened but the Blue Jeans I am wearing right now have a pinkish hue to them.

                      I have a seperate washer and dryer for my detailing rags, got them free through the newspaper ad.

                      My wife forbids me to wash them in her washer and dryer, and the chinese guy at the coin-op was getting pissed when i washed my dirty rags.
