Another Great Invention

KevinGumzmi · Really Bored Member

I hope this will not spread and be a standard feature on all washing machines... I don't want to HAVE NO CHOICE to do the laundry. I hate it!!!

And... if you are single, I can imagine it really is a major inconvenience to have to ask a neighbour or someone to "come push the little button"...

In a way it potentially reniforces the 'macho man from the ice age'

Imagine, poor downtrodden wifey has seperated the whites from the coloureds, loaded the machine, put the powder and conditioner stuff in the drawer (or in the little mesh bag if they're a bit posh), but, oh no, now she needs to find hubby to start the blessed thing!, Where is he?, Is he at work? - no, has he taken the kiddies to the park? - no, is he saving the world from climate change - no, in fact he's down the boozer with his mates, his machismo newly enforced by the receipt of the 'power' to allow the washing to be done when he so desires.

Nice one Peppy, you've probably just increased the chances of poor down-trodden wifey receiving a black eye tonight.

Blimey, I've got a black view of the world today, must be something to do with being back at work....

Heh. Pretty black. Methinks you've been having too many late nights, Santa.

Tis a good point though, as is Kev's about getting the neighbour over to press the button.

So Peppy has plans for ironing, too. Interesting...

It did have one good idea...

"Your Turn is also childproof. Parents can be confident that young fingers will not be able to operate the washing machine as it is only their fingerprints that can start it. "

If my mom had this when I was growing up, perhaps I wouldn't have washed quite as many crayons and rocks

what next:

Iris recognition on the toaster?

scales attached to the fridge only 'permitting' access if the diet is working?

hehe - now that is a good idea

"Open the fridge door, Hal!"

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"

Susan · Tickle me, Elmo! I'm Roger Moore's Stunt Double!

Could be the new diet...

Could be tough; that was pretty crap.

Here's one attempt:

Pretty tasty. And the bonus is that you get to look like a nob riding it! Woohoo.

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

I'd like to see someone try to ride one of those on a January blizzard day in Minneapolis.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Me, me me! I volunteer, Nate... er... you'll have to pay the air fare, though. And buy the wheely thing...

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

That's the kicker; they're effin' expensive!

Might be worth it though just to see it...

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Start saving up, dude. Let me know when you're ready.

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Fair does; starting to stash the extra cash, me ol' mucker.
