Domestic drudgery...

No time to write anything because all the household hassles are homing in on my free space. However, just as I was thinking that things couldn't possibly get worse on the domestic-chore front, I remembered this advert that I used in one of my lessons, and realised that they could, indeed, be a whole  lot worse....

I don't know which would be the lesser evil - being the happy recipient of such a glorious 'gift', or having a husband who would actually propose such an item in the first place and then expect to be "thanked" three times a day. I would like to know if the "little woman" would be able to fit the head of such a thoughtful husband into the opening of the In-Sink-Erator both "quickly and quietly".
