Dunno.......... sounds like he might be doing them to make him feel like
it's 'his job', or even to just be a 'worthwhile contributing member of
the tribe'.

My SO would wash the dishes...... even though we had a bloody
operational dishwasher!!!

Once I wrestled the dirty dishes out of her soapy hands, and showed her
the delights of electronic washing........ she thought that spending an
extra 60mins with me wasn't sooooo bad!!!

After a couple of years, the DW died.

SO said "No sweat, I'll go back to washing them again."

Quite a few dinner parties, and quite a few parties later, she came up
with that loving look in her eyes, hugged me, and said (whilst smiling)
through clenched teeth, "When are you going to buy another
dishwasher???" :-)


My plan worked!!!! ;-)


I *HATE* washing dishes.

It takes a little while........

I was having dinner with my boss and his wife and she said to me, "How

many potatoes would you like Peter?". I said "Ooh, I'll just have one

please". She said "It's OK, you don't have to be polite" "Alright" I

said "I'll just have one then, you stupid cow".
