I did it once, but when the machine went into the spin cycle, they all disintegrated. Cheap dishes obviously!

😄 You have to use dishwasher-safe dishes. Which, in your case would be all-plastic dishes.

Can’t do that. No plastic dishes. Not eco-friendly. I just won’t do dishes any more.

Why hide these memorable words behind a link? Here’s the full version:
Poor Brad
BY COLIN CHAPPELL
So many years ago
He found himself a bride
Her parents were so glad
At last now she was going
At last she was leaving their home
Everyone was happy… poor Brad.
*
Her sisters were delighted
That she was getting wed
It was no secret they were glad
They stifled their smiles
As she walked down the aisle
They couldn’t help thinking… poor Brad
*
He suffered her humor
Put up with her quirks
And then a child they had
Dizzy with excitement
Illogical as ever
Carolyn was a challenge… poor Brad
*
A second child followed
Much to Carolyn’s delight
And Brad was, once again, a Dad.
“Dizzy Lizzy” was confused
Puzzled and rather perplexing
But our thoughts go out to poor Brad.
*
So many years have now gone by
So much time has passed
Was it really all that bad?
Well by all accounts
At least from what we hear
All we can say is …poor Brad!
*
Now over 20 years later
We just shake our heads
She’s obviously quite mad!
We’ve known her for almost two years
And she does have really nice kids
But… we just have to say… poor Brad
*
Brad is surely a martyr
Suffering the confusion
It really is quite sad
For Carolyn, being so short
If she asked what we thought… we’d say (while looking down)
It’s alright for you… but… poor Brad!

I resent this claim. Men often do the dishes, we are just very efficient about it. For instance, I have a dog that can lick a plate clean in seconds. Just set all the plates and bowls on the floor and come back in 5 minutes and they are all sparkling clean.

Dogs make excellent dishwashers. I tried our cat once, but he was too timid, with his dainty licking. Took forever. Meow I only use dogs.

Yeh … but how many women does it take to change a light bulb? Three! One to hold the bulb, and two to spin the chair she is standing on.
LikeLiked by 2 people
And then a fourth, to complain that the job wasn’t done just right.
LikeLiked by 4 people
They get the light bulb out and put it on the counter because a friend sent them a message. While replying they grab a snack out of the fridge and notice a clothing catalog that came in the mail. They then start talking to their friend about the clothing and prices at this store and eventually go meet at the store for an afternoon of shopping.
Later, the husband gets home, notices the dead bulb and because he seldom hears from his friends, he just changes it immediately and goes on about his business.
The woman comes home and assumes that she was the one that changed the bulb, even though she doesn’t quite remember doing it.
