Back in 1990 dur­ing my fresh­man year of col­lege one of my friends had gone home for the week­end with his laun­dry and had acci­den­tally returned with a pair of his sister’s under­wear. We nat­u­rally devised a prank on some poor guy who was doing his wash with his girl­friend. As he pulled each item out of the dryer she would fold it for him, and when he got to the girl’s under­wear, he made a face and she cried out, “Oh god, Paul, no!”

We died laugh­ing. When they fig­ured it was a joke they did too, for­tu­nately. He was a big mutha.

Any­way, looks like now you can get info from a web browser on how your laun­dry is com­ing along.

This is not nearly as good as the story, but it’s nice.
