Keeping us safe

Be the reason someone smiles today

A few years ago, the Department of Defense undertook an important study to determine the best way to fold towels.

They are the defense experts, so folding towels must have a very important role in protecting us from our nation’s enemies.

The study involved folding the towels in several ways, including:

• folding in half lengthwise

• folding in thirds lengthwise

• folding in half lengthwise and then in half again widthwise

• folding in thirds lengthwise and then in half again widthwise

After two years and $1.5 million dollars, the study found that the best way to fold towels to take up the least amount of space was to fold them in half lengthwise then in half again widthwise.

When some people criticized the study, the Defense Department said the study was “not intended to be a definitive answer on how to fold towels” but was just a preliminary look and “more research is needed.”

The report has not been released to the public, but it did cost …

$1,500,000.00

But at least we can rest easier at night knowing we are all a little safer because our towels are folded properly.
