Make Treatment Of Women Great Again
Bad Behavior, Silly, Spouses & Partners, Tourist Attraction, UK | Romantic | April 27, 2018
(I am on a tour of castles in the UK. One of the other passengers is a high-maintenance type who never stops complaining. Her husband seems like a nice enough guy, though on the quiet side. We are touring a 14th-century keep, and the guide is explaining some of the rather nasty stuff displayed on the wall, including an instrument of public punishment and humiliation for nagging wives. It’s an iron muzzle that straps around the victim’s face and through the mouth, pressing down on the tongue and preventing speech.)
Guide: “And this device is called a Scold’s Bridle.”
(He places it across his face to demonstrate.)
Husband: “Do they sell those in the gift shop?”
