I was never any good at folding shirts. Most of the time the result would be a big ball in my drawer/lugage, but after watching this video I can fold shirts in mere split seconds:

Ouch! I went so fast that I burned myself.
 
That's awesome!

Nice video.
 
I just use hangers
 
I'm still waiting for someone to invent a machine that automatically takes the laundry from the dryer, irons it and folds it and presents it in sorted bundles for me to just put into the dresser drawers.
 
Mother of god... he is a genius!

Pengwuino, I am ashamed of you. After all the struggle women have gone through to fight for equality your insensitivity unfortunately shows that we still have a long way to go before women have true equality. Jerk. (I first saw this clip with a WOMAN doing it, not this bozo)..

Moonbear locks me in her basement and beats me every night. She feeds me pancakes and pizzas that she slides under the door. Someone please save me, the only light I have down here is from the monitor!

Just keep folding the laundry, or I stop sliding the pizzas under the door. You'll have to rely on Pengwuino and his burnt fingers to provide you with food. :devil:

I think I saw the same video Cyrus saw. I was so amazed that I had to teach my each of my kids next time they did their laundry (we don't do their laundry for them anymore).

The reaction seemed to be the same each time. Rather than awed and grateful, they just looked at me with really worried expressions. :confused:
