Hair Down There

By Nelson

Thanks to Hektor, who sent me this. Normally, I like to add my own thoughts but Hektor said it all already so I’m presenting it unadulterated.

Housework is the biggest bug in our house. When my now husband moved in, I definitely found an increase in housework. I do all the cooking when his son visits, change all the beds, and a million more chores besides. He polishes ‘downstairs’ once every 2 months and hoovers once a week and THEN expects a big pat on the head & a thank you for doing it!!!!
The strange thing is – whenever I look up ‘wife’ in the dictionary, it NEVER says ‘See or refer to Slave’!!

‘downstairs’?

    Which downstairs: his or hers?

    This one may belong on the “blog” of “unnecessary” quotation marks.

    Perhaps the reason your dictionary doesn’t say “see or refer to” is because it’s written for literate people, and to use such a construction would be a tautology.

    She should count her lucky stars she isn’t married to Stuart Booth. In comparison, her ‘downstairs’ polishing hubby is a true renaissance man.

    Incidentally, I did refer to my slave with reference to the meaning of the word wife. She told me to fuck off…….

    Thank you very much, I’m here all week. God Bless.

    It’s the whole “inline” expandy/collapso comment bit that fools people into posting things in the wrong places. It seems that I’ve succumbed to this AJAX bumgravy.

    I can move/edit posts should anyone care enough to want me to.

    The problem is if you’ve got two comment sections open at once, fill the first field out in the first comment section, then press tab. It jumps to the first field in the second comment section.

    Mayhaps you could introduce a little Javascript to ensure only one comment section is open at a time?

    Or you could just spend the time thinking up new swearwords, like ‘codbollocks’ or what not.

    Ah, reet. Thanks.

    Now I have a diagnosis, I expect I’ll sort it out some time in the next 12 months.

    I have a friend who doesn’t like to iron – she will see to her husband ‘downstairs’ and he’ll do the ironing
