Jax, shame on you. Yekke’s clothing doesn’t smell. They only make very precise movements that never cause perspiration. If anything, the clothes get cleaner and fresher every second they are privileged to be worn by the yekke.
I got a lot of dirty laundry around in the hamper. I hope to get in I plan to stash it in the basement before Shabbat. B”H, I am going to be very, very busy as soon as the Hag is over.
So given the choice of doing laundry on Chol Hamoed and going to a department store on Chol Hamoed, you chose the easier of the two. Just for that, I hope the CR ppl give you a break and don’t yell at you for buying stuff 🙂
