I like that the photographer caught the moment that the dog decided to lick his balls.

Dog's cleaning up too, very modern

Impressive how things were back then. You’d invest a great deal of money into a washing machine, and you’d get a free family to work it for you.

I've done laundry by hand; you would be fucking ecstatic to get this.

Of course, I even dislike doing the dishes and this is childs play in comparison to laundry:)
