The "Heavy Duty Washer" Story

It was another ordinary day. I have just finished washing the boy's basketball uniforms. Game was last night and I had to come in early today to get the uniforms washed. I became the equipment manager three years ago when the last one quit and Mr. H., the high school principal came and asked me if I could take over the job. He knew I would say "yes", since I owed him a favor and I had a growing family and could always use the extra money. Not that tough of a job. I come in early before school, pop the uniforms in the big washing machine, add the detergent and bleach and push the button. During homeroom I head back down to the equipment room and load them into the dryer. After lunch I head down again and fold the uniforms, getting them ready for the next game. During football season I have to hand out all the pads, practice uniforms and helmets before the season starts and wash the jerseys and pants after each game. During my first year as equipment manager I mistakenly put a few of the white jerseys in with the blue pants and when I went down to take them out, the jerseys were a neat light blue color. No one told me not to do it, and my wife does the wash at home, so I didn't know the difference. Well the coach didn't like the shade of blue so we had to order new game jerseys before the next game. Luckily, I only had a few in with the pants, so the expense wasn't that great. Never happened again!! Until ...... ! I retired 11 years ago from teaching and became the head washer at home. And .... a few weeks ago I put my new light orange Bankie Banx shirt in with my blue jeans and VIOLA! Shirt looks like it is tie-dyed. I'll bet he could sell more shirts if he made it like my new shirt I now have. It's really neat now!! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
