Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for May 11, 2022

I’ve been in the no iron age most of my life. I like wrinkles. Since I love cotton clothing and won’t even own an iron, I have to love wrinkles.

They look permanently depressed

AKA a wrinkle in time.

Lol! Had to read twice

Poor things probably didn’t have drier sheets, either.

Don’t starch with me!

BP: Before Polyester!!

When life was so much simpler – less pressing.

For a moment I thought they were all suffering from anaemia.

Ironic, isn’t it?

A pressing time for all.

The guy in the center would go on to find fame by falling asleep in the Catskills and missing the American Revolution.

Wrinkles Rule!!

I thought they would be more bronzed, but they just look stoned.

Definitely before the Iron Age. In fact, judging from their expressions, they appear to be from the Stoned Age!

Drip dry, roo.

I’ve lived my entire life before the iron age.. Best of times…

Geritol….yeah, thats it!

At 67, when I look like that, I simply tell the truth. My clothes aren’t wrinkled……I"M wrinkled.

Then came Iron Man!!! Love him 3000!!!

And WAY before the Permanent Press Age

Irony – the opposite of wrinkly.

Boo! :D

Love it! Thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a day.

Mark, you continuously amaze me.

I love cotton and silk clothing, which I never iron them. So what if they are wrinkled. But I have a collection of vintage, intricately hand-embroidered linen sheets that have to be ironed. I love ironing them, even though ironing linen is a task, because they are so beautiful.
