The Mayor Rules Against the Captain

I am sad to announce that city hall has ruled against me and that there is no such thing as a “Reverse 48 Hour Rule.”

Well Captain speaking as a basement dwelling outhouse lawyer – the ‘Two Year Rule’ supersedes the 48 hour rule and clearly states that if you ain’t used it once in two years – Goodwill or the dump gets it. Of course there are reasonable limitations on that – but you get the idea.
Also, in the area of the kitchen: feminists shot truly shot themselves in the foot with their foolish demands for sexual equality. My wife claimed that because we’re all equal and the same despite our reproductive plumbing – I was now co-owner of the kitchen and legally responsible for helping to keep it clean.
‘Fair enough,’ says I. I pitched every last mismatched coffee mug, one-of–king dish and plate, and other non-essential POS found stashed in the cupboards – into the trash! Of course Her Highness flipped but I would have none of it! If I have to keep my shop clean, there has to be a place for everything, and everything in its place. My shop is cleaner than a Green Bean Marine’s M16 – and by Godfrey, the kitchen and latrines will be too if I am to be responsible for them.
I have since been relieved of my duties in the kitchen but my crappers still sparkle and shine and qualify as true Fortresses Of Solitude for my manly ruminations!
Household Law is much like martial arts: you must turn your opponent’s strengths against them and capitalize on their weaknesses. Just remember to let them win the odd sparring match.

good advice BBJ.
I’ve done similar with respect to folding towels, and some other odds and ends. The trade-off is I’m allocated 1 towel per wash cycle… yada, yada yada. That said, if I’m in the mood for a “Die Hard” movie or such, it’s a simple thing to errantly(ahem) use the wrong towel, and spend a night at Casa de Sofa in the TV room.
