To laugh at dh's 'problem'?

[startwig1982]

DH just came in to ask if I had done any tumble drying, as he had found one of his hankies, slightly damp, on the floor of the garage(where the tumble drier is). I hadn't done any and told him so. He's very puzzled and looked annoyed when I laughed at him... It's not exactly the worst problem in the world, is it? How exactly should I have been a better wife?

So the facts are:
A damp hanky was discovered on the floor of the garage.

The hanky was in the vicinity of the tumble dryer.

You have not used the tumble dryer.

My questions are as follows:

How damp? Was it dropped yesterday?

Was somebody else using the tumble dryer and this is why you have dismissed dh's question so scathingly? Do you have a full staff for example.

Have you or anybody else carried our any washing activities?

Was the handkerchief monogrammed or similar? Has dh identified it in a line up?

When will the DNA report be available?

has he got a hole in his trouser pocket?
is it raining?
has he got nothing better to worry about?

We phoned the police last night when our neighbours threw a wet towel out the window.

Amongst other things.

Eh? What?

Apparently it's clean(he's still going on about it). No we don't have staff and we were both at work yesterday. The washing machine is in the kitchen, so it couldn't have come from there. No holes in his pockets either.

Ok but really I STOL don't get the problem or why you laughed.

I feel like my drinks been spiked or something

it's just a little mystery he's trying to solve a la colombo.

he's not saying you're a bad wife.

don't get why you have to laugh at him and put him down.

ok, it was stolen off someone elses line by a bird/rat/mouse and dropped there.
solved. now Dh can get on with his life!

Have you checked the garage roof for leaks?

If not, could you climb up there now please and keep us updated using a mobile phone?

does he sleepwalk?

It was Professor Plum, in the garage, with a leaky hose. Solved.

Who under 70yo carries a hanky these days any way?

Filthy germy things.

Leave the bastard?

Ah, one for 'zee little grey cells...' Do you park the car in the garage?
Maybe it fell out of a pocket while getting out of the car...

Can't believe I'm getting involved in this.

Maybe he suspects it's another man's hankie....

?
There must be something more constructive for me to do...

No it's definitely his, as it's initialed!! We don't park the car in there but occasionally dry ds's nappies in the dryer, when it's foul outside and we need them quickly.

Dh always has used hankies (horrible snotty things) but if he had initialed ones, that would just be TOO MUCH like an old man!!

Have you searched the garage for his white socks and brown sandals?

wouder if there was greenies on it ?

My husband uses hankies. He's 38.

if it was my old man id buy him throw away hankies an hope it ends up in the bin

Your husband has hankies? With his initials on?

Is he called Quentin? Are there wings in your house?

Hehehe, thanks for this thread, it's hilarious.

Where's Poirot when you need him?Probably hiding in fear of not being able to solve the handkerchief on the garage floor mystery...better call MI5...
