Pretty much true, but I’ve seen exceptions. At least in the Southwestern US, the smaller the home, the more likely it is the kitchen will be very near the laundry room.

In both my childhood home (built 1997, one story) and my dad’s childhood home (trailer, built 1973), the “laundry room” was basically a hallway off the kitchen.

The washer is never directly in the kitchen or under a countertop, though.

Funny, but I also almost puked seeing Data that way. I guess he can survive as only a head, though - just need a new body.

Spock has occasionally made jokes, and at least in the presence of a certain Richard Milhous Nixon, is a smoker.

My high school history teacher had that as a poster on her wall.
