Not surprisingly, the drying process is considerably worse. Everyone is quite familiar with the dryers that accept the dots and appear to be working when, in reality, the clothes are just turning around and never getting dry. Or perhaps you may be familiar with the opposite situ- ation in which the dryer produces heat, but neglects to spin the clothing. This results in the clothes being fully microwaved after 1 /2 hour of "drying." On any given day (or night) the Martyr's laundry room is fully equipped with at least three of these "dryers."
