A Bad Hair Day for New Bride

Graham Norton, an English talk show host, has a part at the end of his talk show in which volunteers sit in “the red chair” and recount some anecdote from their lives. If the volunteer’s story is boring, Graham pulls a lever that supposedly tilts the chair back until only the volunteer’s feet are visible. If the story is particularly good, the volunteer gets to walk away unscathed.

Pre-COVID the volunteers came from the audience. During the various COVID lockdowns, the volunteer was on a computer screen and one of the show’s guests assumed the role of volunteer and sat in the red chair.

I was watching Graham Norton in 2021 and one of his guest was Daniel Sloss, a well-known Scottish comedian. As part of his comedy routine “Jigsaw,” he examines relationships between men and women. His comments have apparently led a lot of people to realize they aren’t happy in their relationship. They often contact Daniel to let him know how his influence has led them to breakup and/or divorce their significant others.

That night Daniel Sloss volunteered to sit in the red chair.

A woman from Australia was chosen to tell her story which went like this:

She and her husband honeymooned in Canada so she could meet his family. They stopped at an ice cream parlor. While family members were choosing their ice cream treats, she went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw her husband bent over the ice cream display. She slipped up behind him, reached up the leg of his shorts, grasped his pubic hair, and yanked some out.

Only it’s not her husband. It’s her father-in-law.

There was of course that horrified moment when the no one on the stage really knew how to respond. The thought of someone sticking their hand up their spouse’s shorts and yanking out pubic hair is mind boggling. Doing it in a public food establishment sent the mind reeling.

Adding in that it wasn’t even her husband, but her father-in-law…

So many questions light up the mind.

Do you plan to eat ice cream with that hand?

Then there’s the obvious question you want to ask her: Have you ever had someone jerk out your pubic hair?

Is there a male alive would put this behavior into the “I love this about my spouse/significant other” because “I love having my bollocks hairs plucked out?”

And of course, there is the perennial favorite: “What were you thinking?”

Maybe this woman and her husband like to pluck out each other’s pubic hair. Ewwww! But they are two consenting adults.

Still, isn’t there a time and a place for this kinky behavior? A public ice cream parlor while on vacation with your new in-laws doesn’t exactly seem to meet the time and place criteria, does it?

One has to wonder how long this relationship lasted–and the husband didn’t even need to watch Daniel Sloss’ Jigsaw special.
