Husband Once Again Fails The ‘Lets Not Do Presents This Year’ Test

Local man Roger Blackmore has once again found himself caught with his metaphorical pants down this morning, after making the mistake of taking his wife’s “let’s not do presents this year” statement literally.  

It’s understood that the buffoon realised he’d walked into the same trap as last year, and the year before, when his niece toddled over with a present saying “this one’s from Aunty G!” Aunty G being his wife, Grace. 

Witnesses say that Blackmore looked like he’d been punched in the gut, and if Grace wasn’t on the other side of the room, they say they might have suspected she did sneak in a jab. 

“I.. what? I thought we weren’t doing presents this year?” he said. 

Grace could only shake her head, “why wouldn’t I want a present to open at Christmas?” 

Speaking with The Advocate some time later, Blackmore admitted that he was at a loss. 

“First I don’t listen enough, now I am what… listening too much?” 

“I don’t understand” 

Unfortunately Blackmore is not alone, with reports of basically every other husband and boyfriend in Australia failing the same test. It’s not yet known when they will learn, or if they ever will. But experts say that for the sake of every marriage, the default should always be to get a present. 

More to come.
