That one does have a rule too but I don't know it off the top of my head and my wife is busy with homework, but basically think of how you say it, you don't say "clutchs" you say "clutch-ezz". When my wife is not doing homework I'll dig out here little grammar rule book and find it.

Correct, if something belongs to more than one, it is indeed s-apostrophe.
On the add-an-e thing, you're probably right. I was a solid "D" student in high school English. Grammatical rules make my head swim, so I make my own.
They you have folks who think they're covering all the bases by adding an apostrophe before EVERY S: Sunday's, peach's, banana's...
