You get two sheets. Every Saturday you put the clean sheet on the top, the top sheet on the bottom and the bottom sheet you turn in to the Laundry Boy. Any man who turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box.

Is this gonna involve eating eggs of some sort? Because I'm already a little queasy.

Sure, but I do tend to hog the pretzels.

I've actually never seen that phrase used outside the reverend horton heat song. I always wondered if he made it up.

He was quoting Carr, the floor-walker.

Oh kellydamnit do see it. Newman and Kennedy are great. We watched it tonight. About the 30'th time I've seen it.

And nobody's said "What we got here is a failure to communicate", yet? That really IS a failure to communicate!

I thought "the box" was a reference to a dirty joke I know. no I'm not telling it, it's a terrible joke.

I, reading this literally (as I usually do), remember doing that as a kid. That was before fitted sheets were in vogue. Or maybe they were but we couldn't afford them. That's probably the case because I remember getting a lot of linens from thrift stores.
