The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-10-05, Page 5Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, October 5, 1988—Page 5 Listen to these houshold hints, gentlemen! This week's lesson gentlemen is "How to make your domestic engineer ( wife and/or female members of the family) unhappy", otherwise known as "bad habits of the man/men of the hot. :e". 1. leave the top off the toothpaste, deodorant, shaving creme, after shave etc. These lids are put on by the manufacturers for ease in shipping and should be thrown in the garbage when the aforementioned products arrive at your home. 2. use too much toothpaste on your brush and let the excess run down the side of the sink. Bathroom cleaning personnel love to scrape thee hard bits off. 3. leave the residue from your beard in the sink; this makes an added attraction for the domestic engineer. Especially attrac- tive is the ring of beard and shaving foam after it has dried. 4. leave ur personal underclothing lay- ing on the bathroom floor; visitors are sure to recommend you fire your domestic engineer. 5. leave your wet towels on the floor of the bathroom; when left for any length of time, the towels take on a most delightful fragrance. 6. leave your wet towels on the bed after showering ;• the domestic engineer loves to change bedding at 11 p.m. before retiring for the evening. 7. take your socks off and leave them in a conspicuous place in the livingroom or kit- chen; domestic engineers love to run around trying to eliminate the sweaty gym smell - what a challenge! 8. never use the clothes hamper - this is forbidden; they are meant for decoration only; it is much easier for the domestic engineer to get clown on all fours and crawl NOTICE re Revisions To The Polling List Please note that the last day for receiv- ing revisions to the Voters list is Satur- day, October 15, 1988 and NOT Mon- day, October 17, 1988, as previously announced. This decision arises from a Supreme Court hearing dated September 12/88. Based on this decision, the Municipal Office will be open on Saturday, Oc- tober 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. B. M. Whitcroft, Clerk and Returning Officer, Village of Lucknow AMBLINGS by Pat Livingston under the bed to retrieve items for the laundry. 9. smokers should never use an ashtray; they are to look at only; please use your plate or saucer for those offensive ashes. 10. never remove wet or muddy shoes/boots upon 'entering the residence; domestic engineers really do believe "practice makes perfect" and the more times they scrub, wax and vacuum, the more proficient they become. 11. always leave your erppty beer bottles laying around; the home is your castle and if you prefer it looks like a pub, so be it. 12. never compliment the domestic engineer or her personnnel on how attrac- tive they look when going out for an even- ing. Such compliments may lead said domestic engineer to think that she is above all of the aforementioned duties and then where would you be. Now before all you men out there panic, I am pleased to inform you that I will give up my space in this column next week for you to list your side of the coin. Please keep your comments brief. This should not be difficult, as we domestic engineers are really fantastic, understan- ding people and despite all of the aforementioned "beefs", your domestic engineer really does "love you". Thank you Thanks to all those who over the last few weeks have commented on this column I MEMORIALS OF DISTINCTION For friendly Counsel without obligation, we invite you tO see us about the selection of a family monument.

"What is real?" asked the Rabbit one day. "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long time, then you become real." Touring Players Theatre spins its theatrical magic as it follows this beloved classic tale of a toy rabbit and his desperate quest to become a real, living rabbit. The theatre company was established in 1983 and has since enjoyed an annual audience of 80,000. All the plays are adaptations from popular children's literature and AT THE LIBRARY highlights the talents of various writers, directors and actors. Don't miss this special presentation next Tuesday at the Lucknow Library.
