Don’t go all postal guy Bleeb is right there see if he can give you a hand. For me as i have said before i don’t try to fold fitted sheets. I don’t rip them up either just wad them up and stuff them in a drawer.

Okay, give me any branch of humanity that can fold a fitted sheet and I will be in great awe. Even Bleeb is waiting.

Oh, and isn’t it amazing how a cartoonist can draw frustration! …,not to mention the kid’s and mama’s blank stare.

Folding? What’s that about? It goes right back on the mattress!

I KNEW it! At last I now can blame science!

He can’t perform in front of others.

You’ve got to know when to hold them and when to fold them!

So that’s why I can’t fold them!

The roll them up method is best: you always know which sheets are the fitted ones!

Bleeb wants to help, but being a typical guy, he don’ want no stinkin’ help…

My wife tried to teach me how to fold them last week- too many steps!

That is why God invented women. Even He couldn’t fold them.

Are neuroscientists saying this is “woman’s work”? Clear the deck!

Who the heck tries to fold a fitted sheet? That’s madness. …right?

The difficulty lies in finding a reason to bother with it

I know a bunch of women (me included) who can’t fold fitted sheets, not very well at any rate.

I’m beginning to wonder what portion of the brain neuroscientists will discover cartoonists lack.

So that’s explains the hulk like rage I’ve had when trying to fit the sheets in the plastic case

Guess I’ll be showing this to “she who must be obeyed.”

“The ability to fold fitted bed sheets” ~~ among other things.

I disagree! That portion of our brain is actually there…it’s just filled with BBQ sauce and bad ideas we haven’t tried yet.

At the time fitted sheets were invented the man who invented them never anticipated men doing laundry.

Here, hold my beer, I’ve got this.

Bleeb is confused. They don’t have fitted sheets where he comes from.

Me? Food Sheets? BWAAHAHAHA!!!! Not likely.

I guess I have regressive gene, I can fold fitted sheets.

Uh, got news for you – it’s both men AND women.

The task is easier if it’s done with two people. My mom and I used to fold sheets all the time and folding the fitted sheet together wasn’t difficult. Really, folding any sheets are easier with two people. Now that I keep my own sheets in my room though, I throw the flat sheet and pillow case into the fitted, ball them up and throw them in the closet. I’m too lazy to fold.

Fitted sheets were a woman’s revenge when a man invented the mammogram.

I Personally think that the reason Men can’t fold fitted sheets is Real Simple. It has nothing to do with intelligence,philosophy,etc., it is Simply the Fact that Most Men Don’t Care if the DANG SHEET is Folded Correctly. It’s still in the drawer,closet or wherever isn’t it ? What’s the Problem ? :-) You’all Have a Great Day !
