Martin and the Antique Dish Set

Martin came up to me this morning and said he accidentally figured out a way to get out of doing the dishes. Last night he was washing an antique dish set by hand (At this point in his story I already knew what the outcome was going to be). As he was drying off a dish he turned to put it away, but was not paying attention to what he was doing (surprised?) and crash. After that his wife came in and told him "no dishes or laundry for you" and kicked him out of the kitchen.
