JUST READ IN THE PAPER
about Tony Jacklin, the golf pro,
who won $21,000.00 in
Minnesotalately. Seems he carted
the cheque back to his native
England in his trousers' pocket
and his dutiful wife immediately
sent the pants off to the cleaners
without checking the pockets.
Guess that's what you call
being taken to the cleaners. Think
he retrieved the cheque O.K. but I
feel sorry for his wife. I know,
from first hand experience, what
a scolding she got;. * * *
OTHER MEN MAY MOAN
about their wives going through
their pants pockets, but my
mate's problem is in reverse.
It must be lack of
communication.
Apparently, when he dumps
his clothes on the bedroom floor
he is only telling me to hang them
up, while I assume, naturally
enough I think, that he wants me
to throw them in the washing
machine.
As a result, the things I have
washed you wouldn't believe.
The $42.00 I once put through
the automatic came out
beautifully and for a day or two
we could boast of having the
cleanest money in town,
Other items turned out not so
well.
I found to my sorrow that
important receipts and papers
will simply fall apart at the
creases after 20 minutes of
gyrating and spinning, and all the
king's horses and men had a joy
ride with Hump ty Dump ty
compared to me trying to piece
all the bits together again.
But the worst time of all, ( I
still shudder when I remember)
was when I inadvertently threw in
a garment which held a valuable
legal document.
Legal paper is made for rough
usage and I thought I was home
free until I unfolded it to find it
had all been written in washable
ink and was as blank as a newly
plastered wall.
Let me tell you, I made sure I
had my glasses on and was
holding the baby when I
tremblingly passed along that
piece of news. Even so, the blood
rose so high in my spouse's eye, I
turned and high tailed it for my
life.
After several days of shock
and silence he finally regained his
voice enough to inform me
coldly, and quite callously I
thought, that divorces were
becoming much easier to get and
he was sure any judge would lend
him a kindly and sympathetic ear. * * *
Well, I'm really trying to do
better. But, the darned washing
machine keeps fouling me up and
causing another problem.
I don't know about your
machine, but, I do know mine
houses some kind of a monster
who eats and thrives on men's
socks . . . but only one of each
pair.
How else can you explain why
I end up with 27 socks all of
different colors and hues.
I know it's the machine that's
doing it . . . but my husband
insists it's my fault.
Hence, I catch him furtively
hiding his precious dirty socks,
like a miser his gold, so I can't
find them and lose them and I
think he gets up and washes them
after I've gone to sleep at night.
A wonderful solution has just
come to me,
I'll buy all his socks the same
color from now on.
My man may not end up on
the best dressed list wearing green
socks with every outfit, but it will
sure confuse that miserable
monster in the washing machine.
