<John's recap>
A few years ago, Gildong and I were roommates. We always had the problem of who's gonna wash the dishes, who's gonna clean the refrigerator. We had to figure out a list of chores and who's gonna do that.
Gildong said, "Hey John, why don't you take out the trash?"
I thought, "It's rainy outside. I'm not gonna take out the trash if it's raining."
I thought, "No, no, no, I'll sit out that chore. Maybe next week sometime I'll take out the trash."
