The Poststructural Washing Machine

The Undisputed Spouse and I took delivery on a new Whirlpool Washing Machine today. Here is an actual unretouched photo of one of the controls.

That pretty much covers all of the possibilities, doesn't it?

Hey Dale

Quit washing your dirty laundry in public

So I guess that your gonna have an 'On - Off' relationship with that Gizmo?

I do that all day with this forum. Sometimes when I get off here, I feel so refreshed. Other times, when I'm on, it dampens my spirit, and I don't get off on that. But, I prefer coming on with my regular full load of white wash, off and on ie, but so often, when I think I'm right on, I'm actually off, so I can understand the confusion.

I could use one of those controls for my bagpipes!

I can make the Pipes sound as if they are full of soapy water!

I'm trying to figure out if it's over-simplified or over-complicated.

I seem to remember they called charts like that "truth tables" when I was in school. You see these both in the study of logic, and in the study of electronics.

They do indeed cover all the possibilities!

I must say I am impressed at how shiny the knob is.

Why don't you just replace that knob with this one. It's more down your alley I think,
with the Crimson Tide and everything, and you can make a political statement while your at it.

She offered her honor
and he honored her offer

I thought "poststructural" would have been a rock slab next to a river.

Dale, that is just too much for me. Makes me want to be a Luddite.

...and to think a team of highly-paid monke...I mean engineers designed that knob.
