Andy: Roger, you can't wear that shirt to work! Roger: Why not? Andy: It's missing two buttons! I can see your stomach! Roger: What do you think ties are for? See? All covered up. Andy: I'm beginning to understand your opposition to "casual day" Roger: The invention of young people with young shirts.

The competent wife should be able to sew buttons on his shirt, not just grumble about his wearing it!
The REALLY competent wife should be able to MAKE his shirt, and also the business suit that he wears to work! ( My Mom could and did! – and also made all of her own clothes, and upholstered the furniture and the car seats - and made the canvas tent walls for the camping trailer that my Dad built. )

CHIEF My wife would have me sleeping on the couch if I ever mentioned what my mother (with one arm) could do with a singer sewing machine. She is a modern woman with plastic (I’m reminded every month). Needles are things they used to have on phonographs, and threads are storylines on daytime TV she needs to tell you about. A thimble is for measuring Vermouth.

A thimble : no it isnt its for protection of the finger when sewing

Lew, WHAT, do you mix your Martinis in 50 gal drum or maybe a cement mixer?
Loose/missing buttons? There’s GADGET for that or at least the office stapler.

The competent husband would know how to sew on a button all by himself

Never go without some kind of undershirt… especially if your shirts are starched at all.

If the Foxes are anything like me, the problem isn’t inability to sew the button back on, it is the inability to find the button at all! Forget about the spare buttons that come with the shirt, those disappear as soon as the tags come off.

In most offices, “casual” is defined as a golf shirt, khakis, and possibly some conservative sneakers depending on the employer. I could get by with that.

You’re all wrong about the thimble. It’s for telling you what real estate you can buy in Monopoly.

He could just buy shirts that fit or sew the buttons back on
