LOTTERIES INSIDE I DO not wish to unduly alarm anyone, but I recently survived a major household crisis. As so often happens with guys of my particular gender, this crisis involved underpants. I was attempting to get dressed all by myself the other morning when I glanced in my drawer and discovered - you might want to sit down before reading this next bit - I was completely out of clean underwear. You will be impressed to hear I did not panic, because I have been trained how to deal with stressful situations of this nature. " HONEY!" I will normally shout, " I CAN'T FIND ANY CLEAN UNDERWEAR!" Then I will attempt to remain calm until my wife arrives with a laundry basket loaded with warm, dry Jockey shorts, which will enable me to begin an action- packed day of professional journalism. In this case, however, I was completely alone in the house, other than our two dogs, neither of whom, to the best of my knowledge, has been trained to fetch freshly laundered underthings. So I decided to do something I have not done in a long time, namely to march down to the basement and confront the new washer and dryer in our laundry room. When I say " new" washer and dryer, I do not mean new in the sense that they just arrived from the store; I mean new in the sense that they are new to me, because I have never before found the need to come in direct contact with them. But the need for fresh underpants can make men do crazy things, so I thumped downstairs and marched into our laundry room, where, even though I have not had any formal training, I immediately began frowning at the washer and dryer. Even though I was visibly nervous, I found the strength to open the dryer door, reach in and extract a pair of underpants, which is when I made another terrifying discovery - THEY WERE STILL DAMP! If I know anything, I know this: I did not get to be a 58- year- old overweight newspaper columnist by parading around in damp underpants! So I realized, deep in my heart, I would need to put them back in the dryer and turn it on. This would not have been a problem with our previous dryer, a reliable old- timer of the sort that had clearly marked " on" and " off" buttons, and a handy dial you could use to set the amount of time you wanted it to operate. But our new dryer and washer are state- of- the- art, high- tech appliances designed to resemble a spaceship Dr. Who might use to zip through time and space and protect the universe from destruction, all the while bravely wearing fluffy, warm underpants. I spent several minutes bravely examining the array of controls and buttons on the new dryer in a sincere effort to determine what they were intended to do, but no matter how hard I frowned at this machine I was unable to figure out how to ( very bad word) turn it on. It is covered with dozens and dozens of buttons and flickering lights that control such vital dryer- related functions as " Child Lock," " Wrinkle Care," and " Damp Dry Beep," but randomly hammering them with a closed fist proved fruitless. At this point, clutching a lone pair of tragically moist underpants, I did the one thing any sane man would do - I called my wife at her office. " Hello, dear," I explained calmly over the phone, " I can't figure out how to turn the dryer on." You are going to be shocked to hear this, but my wife did not grasp the severity of this crisis. " Really?" she sniffed. " You're calling me at work because you can't turn the dryer on? Really?" I politely explained this was not a time for snide remarks, and after loudly rolling her eyeballs ( Yes, I could hear that over the phone), she launched into a detailed description of the complex steps required to turn the dryer to the appropriate setting and time required to safely dry a clammy pair of men's tighty whiteys. I would like to tell you I immediately went back downstairs with my soggy underpants and, armed with this new technical knowledge, took care of the task at hand, but I do not have the heart to tell such an outlandish lie. So I was defeated by the dryer, but like most guys, my DNA is encoded from birth with the innate ability to operate other life- saving electronic devices in emergency situations. The microwave oven is only one example. doug. speirs@ freepress. mb. ca In the Doug House Doug Speirs Soggy gitch no match for male brain STEVEN SENNE / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES The look from inside a high- tech dryer.
