Roseanne Barr's towel folding advice?

August 21, 2008 2:02 PM

Does anyone remember Roseanne Barr's rant about pre-menopausal women and towel folding/hanging as means to waylay the beast?

Long ago I was a young mother and peripherally watched some stand-up thing (we had cable, and tv too! back then) in which Ms. Barr let loose a screed about women obsessing about towels. "If I hang them up just so, all will be right in this the most perfect of worlds," or something. I had no idea what she was talking about, spending most of my hanging up time hanging up diapers. Years have passed, and I think of this every time I go in the bathroom and decide whether to scream at my sleeping teenage sons to "pick up your towels!" or do it myself, so they'll be hung up "just right." Menopause is no fun, MeFi folk.

Google and Youtube have not given me what I am looking for. I just want to hear her explanation of the towel thing. Thanks in advance.

Roseanne has a blog and a forum. Maybe ask on the forum?

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but it's in a similar vein. At 6:50 in Part 1, Roseanne is ironing and folding the towels, and then she continues to obssess about them in the beginning of the first link I posted.
