lipstick


i wore this clean shirt to church this morning & some time during the sermon, the wife noticed this strange lipstick mark at the back of the shirt - strange because she's certain it's not one of her colours. i frankly told her i didn't know how it got there & i was sure she will interrogate me after the service.

oddly, she didn't mention it again until we were home & having lunch. she said a middle-aged member had made it a point to tell her that earlier in the morning, she accidentally walked into me while she was in a hurry, & transferred some of her lipstick onto my shirt. i remembered that incident but didn't give much thought to it as i considered it trivial.

i wonder what would have happened if this lady didn't inform the wife about it?
(i also wonder how the wife can notice the lipstick mark when she's supposed to be listening to the sermon)

so, girls, ladies & wives, sometimes (& only sometimes) when your man can't explain the lipstick on their external clothing, give them the benefit of the doubt, ok?

I guess you'll always wonder, Doc. :p

Mrs Doc should be glad it's only a lipstick mark & not..errr like what was found on Monica Lewinsky's dress. LOL! *evil thoughts* *just kidding* :p

Have a Blessed Easter!

On the back, can give benefit of the doubt, but if on the cheek or neck??!!? How?

Hmm ... I'll reconsider giving my future spouse the benefit of the doubt ... If only everything applies. Haha!

:P

jems,

SAHM,

that's why i mentioned the part about external clothing. anything more intimate...er...the guy better have a water-tight explanation!!

doc said...

iml,

ha ha, getting rid of the "innocent" stain is the least of problems.

doc said...

kyels,

i presume you meant that the same rule also apply to you. of course, he should be fair as well.

See, this is why I don't wear lipstick. I can kiss as many guys I want to... err, I mean, be as clumsy as I am and bump into people, and not get anyone in trouble. ha ha.

And the wife could notice the lipstick mark when she was listening to the sermon because she can do something that may be elusive to you, multi-task. She listens with her ears and looks at her beloved husband with her eyes. ;)

anastasia,

hmm...so can i assume that some girls don't wear lipstick so that they don't leave any ..er..incriminating evidence??

multi-task? the word doesn't exist in my vocab.

I am more a telescope than a microscope! Guess it's time to microscope on marks like these!

First thing first, do the laundry and let the maid rest!

:)

doc said...

just me,

yes, that's one way of looking at it.

doc said...

i'm more of a laryngoscope type of person.
