Bourgeois twat update

So what have we learned? That dental floss can stay by the sink, but a nightguard should be kept in the cabinet. That a scrunchie can go on the towel ring with the handkerchief I use to clean my glasses but that a hairbrush gets put away. That underarm deodorant can stay out with the collection of colognes, and that hair gel belongs in the shower.

That is fascinating. I bet you could construct a fairly rigorous structuralist anthropology of the axes (clean/unclean, order/disorder) relevant to various cultures by inviting different crews of maids of varying but uniform ethnicities into your home to deal with similar puzzles.

Although I don't think my mother would have left a scrunchie out. Visible chaos, those rugose folds of fabric, possibly with stray bits of hair...

"stacked largest to smallest" etc.

... reminds me of my nephew who was a total neat freak when he was two or three years old and for example kept aligning all the figures in the nativity scene and sort them by size.
