Taking the Laundry…
Jimmy Armstrong and Jan Wood/ 1977. (Thanks, Gord)
She instigated the phrase ‘Taking the Laundry to town”. She told folks that that was what she was doing. She never came back! Husband (not Jimmy) was totally surprised. For years it was a term to describe an immanent breakup. Kinda like the term “Going outside to push a truck”. Which was the original intent except that those helping smoked a few joints. So, the saying indicated that smoke was available and happening outside. I remember one time the term was used and a number of visitors got up to help. They were confused when told that the truck was ok and no need to help.

Phil Harrison/George Savoie-1977
George told us that he never had any trouble getting home after a night in the bar. He’d just put the right wheels in the ditch and drive home.
