Signs of the Coming Apocalypse

Whirlpool is buying out Maytag. Housewives the world over will be wearing black mourning garb for the next several weeks. I could not be more serious about this — my mother-in-law is a die-hard Maytag lady from the old country, and she has the 20-year-old functioning washing machine to prove it.

Other ladies (like my wife) are just as fanatic about their Whirlpool-branded stuff. It’s like the good ol’ boy rivalry between Ford and Chevy pickup owners, Carol Brady-style. If household appliances came with back windows, someone would be making a killing by selling stickers of little boys peeing on Maytag “M” and Whirlpool “swirlee” symbols.
