Gal: “Honey? Should I do the laundry or go to the bra burning rally?”
Guy: (thinking – be supportive but in a way that doesn’t wind up with you doing the laundry) “You should totally go to the rally, but promise me you won’t burn that black lacy one I like.”
Gal: Oh not burning any of my good bras. I like my bras, I’m just getting rid of some old ones and being symbolic at the same time.
Guy: Oh, I should probably do that with some of my underwear too.
Gal: All of your underwear you mean. Elastic does have a lifespan you know.
Guy: Alas, all of my underwear is in the laundry hamper.
Gal: Ug, fine, if I do the laundry before I go, will you buy new underwear?
Guy: I promise I eventually will.
See The Goon Show (BBC radio from the 1950’s): they had an episode titled “The Dreaded Batter Batter Puddibg Hurler of Bexhill-On-Sea.” Sigh. Everything old is new again. 🙂
It should interfere with Stay at Home Mom’s evil ray. But they’d probably design the casserole device as a way of delivering nutritious meals for their Significant Others who are just too busy to help around the house – gotta look after the family.
Fight the patriarchal capitalist paradigm or fold the laundry? What a dilemma!
You fight the paradigm and then make the guys fold the laundry!
There’s only so much time in the day, you know!
See? This is why guys are the way they are!

Are you suggesting that you can only get rid of your underwear after it’s been cleaned?
I’m suggesting that burning it while it’s dirty could have dire environmental consequences.
Ah! Okay, fair enough!

Next up, they make a giant oven suit! Like Iron Man, but capable of making a casserole instead of shooting lasers.
A hot ballistic casserole can do more damage than a laser.

This is a brilliant idea. I may steal it.

I mean, who hasnt been burned by an oven? It does really hurt and leave blisters.
Especially if what you were cooking has cheese. It must have been how anikin felt getting burned by lava.
That idea with the oven? Genius!!!
Oh, Ms Rebecca, you are so clever. These last 5 or so strips have been hilarious.
Fight the Rays! Don’t become Stepford Sappho!!
