We could either go for a straight use, or something more tongue-in-cheek.

I prefer the straight use. Even better would be the classic "His and Hers" towels.

Straight use works.

The straight example works best I think.

Although I can't help thinking of the Bugs Bunny cartoon which briefly displays two towels, one marked "his" and the other "hare's".

I actually prefer the tongue-in-cheek one. Especially since, according to the description itself, the trope is almost never played straight.

I prefer the bed one myself.

[tup] for the straight version. The tongue-in-cheek one seems to make me feel sorry for the guys, to be honest.

The tongue-in-cheek version works better, especially after reading the examples on the page. And as Adept said, the description mentions it is almost never used straight in fiction.

I kinda like the tongue-in-cheek one.

EDIT: Nevermind I like 15 better.

For the sake of completeness, here's one example of the classic "His and Hers" towels instead of pillows/bedsheets.

[up]I think that's good, but a little cluttered at wiki-size.

[up]That one's witty but not too cluttered. I like it.

I slightly prefer the bed, but if the overwhelming majority votes for the tacky towel, I'm not opposed.

Another vote or two for the towels and we can rack them.

I still prefer the bed one, but I can live with the tacky towel pic, so it has my weak [tup].
