California legislators have at least temporarily turned their attention away from dog testicles and uteruses in trying to legislate mandatory spaying and neutering -- laws which cause far more problems than they solve wherever they have been tried.
As I recently wrote, now they have turned their attention to a more important issue: mandatory fitted sheets on all hotel and motel beds. This will cost millions for compliance and enforcement.
And, while a machine or monkey can iron and fold a flat sheet, fitted sheets are more labor intensive. The ever resourceful Angie sent a link to the first video on folding a sheet.
The second video is definitely not labor intensive. But I’m not sure how practical it would be for a professional hospitality staff. "Wad" and "stuff" might not be words they would be comfortable doing. But you've got to love this guy.
Consider this a public service announcement. Sort of.

If one of the "biggest challenges" that I ever face in my life is how to fold a fitted sheet... oy vey.. seriously?

Really? Wow. I guess California is really the leader is What's Important, huh? ;-) As for fitted sheets, I have two, and one gets washed/dried the same day that I am changing the other one, so there is none of this 'folding' nonsense. :-)

Oh, and I'll admit to dying of curiosity; why are they legislating against flat sheets? Has the Flat Sheet Lobbying Group fallen on hard times? Are the Fitted Sheet Lobbyists sending the legislators 800 thread count fitted sheets? Inquiring minds NEED to know. (Because I cannot believe that a state that has no money would waste its time declaring a certain type of sheet mandatory....)

Every now and then it's good to be reminded how lucky I am that I don't live in California.

It is absolutely amazing what our elected can think up. I think California is pretty much at the top.

I think there is a happy medium between both of those methods.
