The impossible: Cold fusion, perpetual motion and folding a fitted sheet ...

[Richardo]

How does one who is say, hypothetically doing the laundry today, fold a fitted bottom sheet into anything but a squarish ball that you then stack the flat sheet and the pillow cases on top of?

Did they cover it in home ec? I was in band, and I can tell you we didn't get any clues there.

3. it works too, it took me a few times but you get the hang of it.

4. ...

OK I'm going to have to try that at least once.

Is that what YOU do, if I may be so bold?

5. it does work, you have to take your time but you can do it.

and then you wonder how you didn't know how to do it before.

7. that scared the shit out of me

You just know that that man's a wife beater, and that that video was originally made as an instructional video for his wife. It is titled, "What you have to do to not get smacked around every day".

8. A little old lady in a laundromat taught me that 20 years ago

I thank her every time I fold one. Works like a charm and it's easy.

6. Here's what to do. Take 1 of the two pillowcases and . . .

use it (the pillowcase) as a storage bag for the rest of the set. Fold the rest of the set haphazardly and place in the pillowcase. Put pillowcase in linen closet. Everything stays together. Voila!
