Seriously trivial thoughts

Yeah, they are expensive as hell, but damn if they aren’t really “no-iron.” My three shirts made their maiden voyage through the washer and dryer. The salesperson told me that is all I needed to do and warned I should not take them to the cleaners…of course I didn’t believe her being the skeptic that …
