Dear The Curmudgeon's Agony Aunt
My partner of 38 years is becoming ever more cheeky and critical of me lately.
On the weekend, when we were walking through town I stopped at a fashion clothing shop having spied a nice striped sweater I liked and asked her if I should buy it. She looked at me sideways and said that if I did I'd look like a bumble bee and besides, the shop was a woman's fashion store.
I remonstrated saying that I was sure they would have larger sizes and besides, the stripes were blue before the penny dropped.
"I've been likened to Donatello's David" I told her before walking off in a huff.
How unfair is that?

Dear David, I ... hey! Is that letter from you boss? I recognise the writing style and the good grammar and correct spelling.
Look, what can I say. You might well have been told by a girlfriend back in 1979 that you had a body like Donatello's David - see here ...
... but that was 47 years ago. Things change you know. I suggest that you take your partner's advice and buy something without horizontal stripes and in a large size. Gordon's camping store will stock a tent in your size I'm sure.
I trust that this advice has been helpful

Well, I guess you have to listen to your agony aunt.
ReplyDeleteIf the stripes were slightly narrower around the tummy it might create a flattering optical illusion.
