Lady M: I'm washing your best shorts and stripey T shirt.
Cro: Oh, thank you darling; did you empty the pockets?
Lady M: Of course.
Cro: Did you find my bank notes?
Lady M: What bank notes?
Cro: The ones in my pocket.
Lady M: Which pocket?
Cro: They were in that side pocket on the right.
Lady M: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Let no-one say that Cro goes around, handing out dirty bank notes; mine are the cleanest in Christendom.
Done that many times! Lucky banknotes are sturdy....and clean well!
ReplyDeleteMine, as you can see, stood up to the rigorous cleaning.
DeleteMoney laundering now is it Lady M?
ReplyDeleteLX
An imprisonable offence?
DeleteDamn... Lettice got there first!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, they'll iron nicely!
DeleteI think they must be made of plastic; best not iron them.
DeleteI remember a student friend of mine doing this in the early 1970s and the money turning to pulp. He wept.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I suffered the same thing; just like chewed paper.
DeleteIt happened to me more than once.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will again!
DeleteAre they plastic? I've yet to put a british note through the wash so don't know how the plastic ones come out.
ReplyDeleteNo idea; but nothing would surprise me. They certainly came through intact!
DeleteHope you're going to iron them as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat, me? No I'll get someone else (?) to do it.
DeleteMy Retired Man and I have a finder’s, keepers agreement on money found in the wash. Whoever empties the washer gets to keep any money found. It is the same with coins in the couch. One of us has done well.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very one-sided! As there is only one person who puts bank notes through the wash, it could easily been done on purpose. I (of course) ALWAYS empty pockets before washing.
DeleteWe have all been there. Usually mine has coins, crumpled rec'ts. You struck the motherlode.
ReplyDeleteI often hear strange sounds coming from within the tub; they usually turn-out to be coins. Clean coins.
