Woman avoiding holding husband's hand just in case

A WOMAN is secretly avoiding holding her husband’s hand in case he has not washed them properly.

Emma Bradford hopes her husband Richard will not die from the coronavirus but is also trying to dodge any bodily contact with him unless absolutely necessary.

Bradford said: “I’m not saying he’s infected but I just can’t see him standing at the sink for 20 seconds when he’s used to quickly sticking his hands under the tap then giving them a quick shake.

“Plus I saw him shake someone’s hand the other day, the dirty bastard. And I’m pretty sure he’s still touching door handles.

“This is why I’m trying to stay at least two metres away from him at all times. Maybe I should just move out. I trust no one.”

Bradford’s husband Richard said: “I don’t think she’ll be happy until I actually scrub the flesh from my bones.

“I wouldn’t mind but have you seen the inside of her handbag? She might scrub her hands for three hours a day but it’s pointless if she keeps dipping them into that germ sack.”

The Wetherspoons customer's guide to surviving coronavirus

IT’S the ultimate nightmare scenario – your local Spoons being shut. Here regular Roy Hobbs explains what to do during the coronavirus crisis.

Remember it’s all bollocks

How do I know this? By using faultless Brexiter logic: viruses are tiny, even smaller than ants. And who’s scared of ants? No one, except crybaby Remainer snowflakes. Therefore coronavirus is bollocks. POINT PROVED.

Make your own protective clothing

If you’re still worried, make a protective mask as follows. Put a plastic bag over your head and create an airtight seal around your neck with several metres of duct tape. Ignore so-called ‘experts’ going on about ‘suffocating’. It’s just more Project Fear.

Find irrelevant examples of ‘false’ alarms

Make light of the coronavirus with specious comparisons to events like BSE and the Y2K bug. Don’t concern yourself with more relevant examples such as Spanish Flu, which will be easy because your historical knowledge is limited to Yesterday channel’s Heroes of the Battle of Britain.

Blame the EU/foreigners in general

Even if coronavirus is a minor problem for plucky Britain, how did it get here? We didn’t invent it, so the answer must be: foreigners, with their mucky habits such as making a big pot of pangolin and bat soup.

Practise not being in Wetherspoons

It’s a gut-wrenching vision of purest nightmare, but your local might be closed by the namby-pamby authorities. Practise for this by spending some mornings and afternoons in your own home. Recreate the Spoons vibe by inviting 120 people over to drink Stella and Old Peculiar in your now unbearably packed kitchen.
