      Thanks Ferdy, I thought so too. Although, I think this one could also be called the "Dryer Lint Amanita". Posted 5 years ago

          "Lint" as in the little bits of fluff that get trapped in your dryer (in the lint trap) after you do your laundry:

            Ah, that makes sense. And I actually know what that is, have to clear it out once every 2 weeks. Posted 5 years ago

                I do know how to do it :) Ironing not so much though, can't be trusted in that area. Posted 5 years ago

                      And, besides, the only thing that you need to worry about ironing as you get older is your birthday suit ;P.                       Posted 5 years ago
