Uh, oh! The wacky, messy boys are at it again, mussing up Mom's pristine tablecloth with their hammy man-hands, bad manners and general manitude! I mean, who would ever think to eat Sloppy Joe's with a plate, or forks, or a napkin!?



Laundry: so easy a man can open a bag and twist a cap and put chemicals and a piece of fabric in an automatic machine made for the express purpose of stain removal! Don't worry, mean old Mommy won't notice your silly male tomfoolery this time, crafty boys! Whew!

Okay, in real life guys remove the table cloth rather than risk mess/blame/criticism/emasculation blah blah blah. Take away table cloth, then wipe up spills from table with paper towels, then replace table cloth AFTER table dries so you don't get "inverse stains"

wise advice from somewhere who has been in the heat of the laundry room more than once and, as Robert DeNiro said to Al Pacino in HEAT, "I told you, I'm never going back."
