Housework Challenged
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. 

Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?" 

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?" 

He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma."
