Man’s hilarious letter to newspaper after wife goes to hospital
One may have lived in a home for decades but that does not mean one knows where the tea towels live, especially if you’re of the male variety. Well, that seems to be the case for this man.
Brian Noble, from Ferntree Gully in Victoria, panicked after his wife of 40 years went to hospital “to have her feet done”. No, he was not panicked that his partner was in hospital, but that try as he might he could not find the tea towels.
After three days of searching high and low, Noble took the only recourse he thought possible: Write to a national newspaper asking for help.
The letter appeared in The Age in November last year and reads: “This letter is more of a confession than anything. A guy thing where you don’t even know where the tea towels live. My partner of 40 years unselfishly decided to get her feet done and she’s been in hospital for the past three days. She’s doing really well but I still don’t know where the tea towels are. I must be sexist. It’s my fault. Why have I left it up to her for all these years? God knows, I’ve looked for the tea towels all over the place but I just can’t find them. I failed the man/woman equality thing. Anyone know where I can get disposable tea towels before you-know-who comes home?”
Here’s hoping Brian found the tea towels!
