I'm inclinded to agree, my reply would be along the lines of "so you'd
rather look good, but add to our energy woes, and pollution problems by
using a clothesdryer which is powered by yon oil fired plant which is busily

we using it more, I ask?  Oh, right, we don't want to look trashy, we'd
rather trash our environment.
