- Yes, this would be funny if you were describing housekeeping habits
- of the terminal procrastinators, or the blithely intelligent, or
- the profoundly clever ... but to give the credit to MEN? Sit down.
- You're about to be ashamed.
-
- **NANCY COLUCCI'S RULES OF HOUSEKEEPING** here goes:
-
- 1. Never do anything that you will have to do over again in less
- than two weeks. Do it then.
-
- 2. Never fix anything that can be fixed by the next people who
- live there.
-
- 3. NEVER shovel snow. If you wait long enough it will melt.
-
- 4. Always shower before putting your contacts in because then you
- can't see the mildew and mold and hairs and if you don't know
- they're there, they don't exist.
-
- 5. As for yardwork, only do it when the sun is shining and you're
- slathered in Coppertone wearing as little as possible. Then it
- serves as a workout AND a sunbathe AND the neighbor's goats
- will stop grazing at your house.
-
- 6. Skip every other trash collection so it takes that much less time to
- biodegrade in a landfill. (Wow, all this and she's at one with the
- environment too!)
-
- 7. Paper plates. I don't have to explain this one do I?
-
- 8. You know that little gross area between the toilet tank and the seat
- where you hope your towel never touches? And you know how after you
- blow your nose you wish you could do just "one more" thing with that
- Kleenex? Think ... think ....
-
- Huh. And you thought MEN had all the ideas? Think again buck-o.
