Chores
Chores suck. But among them, there are some not so bad ones, and some really bad ones. Here they are.Yard Work
This is by far the worst of all chores. It takes up the most energy, and the most time, and it's never one set task, so it's never easy. It always takes longer than you'd expect, so it steals the portion of your day that you had planned to use let's say, going to the video store and waiting for the mail cashier to start his shift so you can buy all those pornos you always wanted to see, because let's face it, that one chick would have been disgusted with you.
Vacuuming
This picture says it all. Vacuuming is a really boring, tedious task that just makes you hot. In a house with no central air conditioning, vacuuming is as good for you as jumping in a pool of molten lava, or trying to blow dry your hair. It's terrible. And in the winter, it's no good to keep you warm, because you can just open the oven like the good old white trash family you are. No, we're just kidding. We're sure you just hire maids to vacuum for you anyway.
Dishes
Sudsy. Is that a word? Anyway, if it were, it would be the perfect word to describe this chore. While most of our dishes are now done my machine, there's still the occasional chicken caccaitore pot or cutting board that to your dismay just won't fit. Dishes aren't too bad, but they do leave that unpleasant dry feel on your hands.
Laundry
Another not-too-bad one. The only really annoying thing about laundry is separating everything, unless you really like the color pink. Also, we've pulled the "I-forgot-about-my-load-of-laundry-so-now-it's-in-a-pile-and-molding" move a couple times, so that kinda sucks.
Painting a Fence
Was it Tom Sawyer who was painting a fence or Huckelberry Finn? Either way, if it's good enough for a fictional Mark Twain character, it's good enough for us. You can throw paint at the people you're painting with, and it's pretty hard to screw up, so we like it.

Did you hear about the guy who revived his girlfriend's Chinchilla who had a heart attack from his owner vacuuming? Chores kill chinchillas...unless of course, you know CPR
