I just stole this from someone, and I couldn't think of a better place for it:-
My mum has always liked looking 'proper' and has always wanted her family to do too.
Because of this, she always does too much ironing, as everything has too look 'right'.
Despite always complaining about having lots of ironing to do, for some reason she will always iron socks and underwear.
Her reasoning for this, is "What if you get hit by a bus, and when you're in the hospital, people will see that you've not bothered ironing your underwear"
After years of telling her to stop doing this, as even if anyone sees my underwear, they wouldn't care about if its creased or not, to no avail.
So, my mum was doing the ironing in the other room, when she called me in.
"I've just realized there's no point me ironing the underwear"
"Why's that mum"
"Well, if you get hit by a bus..."
"Yes"
"If you get hit by a bus, you'd probably shit yourself anyway"
