Starch Spangled Billy

Starch Spangled Billy
told by
Brian Barnett
When Billy Cline was in the Army, he had very strict ideals as to how he wanted his uniform to look. Everything had to be picture perfect – creased pants, shined shoes, starched fabric…
Roberta, his wife, was an RN and had five children to raise. Her suggestion was to send the uniforms to be pressed, starched and cleaned, but Billy would have no part of it.
After getting her earful, Roberta abided by following his instructions to the letter. She made sure to starch his pants, socks, t-shirt and underwear.
The next time he came home from drills he was so miserably chafed that he decided never to bring up the subject again.
