A Break in Regular Programming for a “Towel Poll”

There are lots of important things going on in the world right now, and believe me, this is not one of them. But, it might be fun.

It occurred to me as I was putting away dishtowels that 2Chili folded that we will just never agree on how to fold a towel (dish, bath, or otherwise). Now, I am pretty happy that he was even folding towels, but I wondered, is there a right way and a wrong way to fold towels? As much as I quietly hint (and sometimes re-fold), it seems he has his way and I have mine.

I guess we all know that, obviously, a folded towel of any sort is fine (it beats a big heap of unfolded towels, of course), but is there a general preference among the people on how towels should be folded?

So, with that, I present you with a towel poll. Not a straw poll, telephone pole, or a Festivus pole, but a towel poll. If more than two people actually answer this, I’ll share the results with you next week. (By two people, I mean, my mother and 2Chili’s mother, who will naturally pick the towel type favored by their offspring, because how else would one learn to fold a towel?! That would likely result in a stalemate, of course.)

This will be a blind poll in that I’m not telling you who folded which towel. Please consider how you would fold a towel to store it in a drawer when voting. Thank you in advance for your vote. Much like they say around election time for important stuff, your vote really does count!
