Yep! I had an ol' fella once say to me, in my teens, after I found a really easy way to do a particularly hard job; "Yes, give a lazy man a job and he will find the easy way to do it; every single time!" Too bloody right mate!
Actually, I don't have a problem working hard, just don't see the point in working any harder than I absolutely have to.
Oh, and as for the washing up, isn't that what a dishwasher is for?
