June: Ralph, you left gum in your pants and it ruined the laundry! Please check your pockets better! Ralph: My cargo pants have 8 pockets! I wear cargo pants every day! That's 56 pockets per week, not counting shirts and jackets! That's too much for a single person to keep track of! June: You're going to be a single person all right!

Geez, one day’s wear and into the laundry? Maybe if he were a coal miner, I’d buy that.

Tip the pants upside down and shake. If something breakable falls down… You should have checked your own pants instead of leaving the job to the ‘house keeper’ aka mom.Works a treat with teenagers.

That’s why I carry a purse.

the person who owns the pants should be the one to check the pockets, or do his own damn laundry

Ralph is old enough to do his own laundry.

I always double check my husband’s pockets as I don’t want my washer or other clothes ruined. He usually does a good job, but I have found things. Money thought is only a coin or 2.

I don’t check pockets. I never leave anything in my clothes and I keep any cash my wife leaves in hers.

Yeah threaten him he’s going to be single and won’t be constantly aggravated and insulted and he can do what he wants. Oh how terrible.

I’m sure the reason Ralph changes clothes every day is because of food stains.

Ralph doesn’t check his pockets for any snacks he might of missed?

Thankfully, my husband had been doing his own laundry when we married. Told him anything that I found in the washer/dryer was mine (especially money), so he’d better check his own pockets. I’ve left kleenex in my pockets, but nothing as bad as gum. I try to pat down all my pockets before I take off my clothes, fastest way to check (except for those tissues!)

Don’t threaten the bread-winner with freedom, you monstrous beast. I’d have you packing in a flash.
