A fun experiment to try at home
For this experiment, you'll need . . .
1 husband
1 dry cleaning receipt
several items in need of dry cleaning
Begin by leaving the dry cleaning receipt in an obvious place. (A dresser or kitchen counter will do nicely.)
Wait four weeks.
Collect items in need of dry cleaning. Place in large shopping bag.
Wait 10 days.
Place dry cleaning receipt on top of filled shopping bag. Place shopping bag in hallway near front door so that it is necessary to physically step over it when enterring or leaving apartment.
Wait 2 days.
If husband takes shopping bag to cleaners and retrieves items, reward with food.
Repeat.

Congratulations on the Chicago Tonight gig reported by Feder today. When's your first appearance scheduled?
PICKETT replies:
No start date. Not even a done deal yet, really. You know, you can't go around believing everything you read in the newspaper.

Another fun experiment to try:
Items required:
An open mind, (difficult to find but not too rare).
"Attitude Eradicators for the following attitudes:
1. Men are always wrong,
2. If he really loves me he knows what I am thinking,
3. If he didn't do this he'd just find something else to make me P.O'd.
Step one: request of loved one to take (assembled) drycleaning to the cleaners.
No more steps.
Note: This works for other unverbalized expectations too.
PICKETT replies:
Rick, this is brilliant! I love it. And it's so great that it works for women, too. I'm really excited about not cooking dinner, buying groceries, doing laundry or cleaning up until someone asks me to do it!
