Just as Leopold was about to undergo purgation for reproductive toxicity, disaster struck. His wife had insisted that he have such a treatment and it was while flying to Los Angeles to see the experts that something happened to change his mind. He met a high altitude safety technician. She was delivering cut lunches to all the passengers when she leant over to ensure that Leopold’s safety belt was properly fastened. “We don’t want you to fall out of your seat when the plane crashes do we, sweet pea?” That was enough to convince Leopold that the proposed purgation of his reproductive toxicity should be put on hold.
Quite frankly, enough was enough. Upon arrival in Los Angeles Leopold and Angelina (for that was her name) booked into a motel where they mutually enhanced not only Leopold’s reproductive toxicity but his toxic masculinity as well. It was what used to be known as “a dirty weekend”.
Upon his return home Leopold’s wife was convinced that the expert’s purgation had indeed worked, for he no longer showed any interest in her. That was the beginning of the end; or rather the beginning of the beginning. They drifted apart. Leopold’s wife revelled in her new-found independence and ran for Congress. She was duly elected and had an extremely fruitful career demanding the destruction of male reproductive toxicity up and down the county.
Leopold’s ex-wife became something of a celebrity but, I’m sorry, I can’t remember her name.
What is it about flight hostesses which make us avoid undergo purgation for reproductive toxicity? Sadly there weren’t enough of them around when the nameless ex wife got into congress.

LOL! Flight hostesses (and pilots) seemed (in the old days) to have an unfair reputation.

The Nirvana afforded by the turn of events to Leopold, Angelina and the nameless wife who made it to the congress constitute a commentary on domestic discord, democratic decay and victory of reproductive sensibilities of the species.

They used to be called Trolley Dollies but then political correctness set in. For which, of course, we are all jolly grateful. 🙄

Yes!!! A high altitude safety technician is far more acceptable.

I do like the’ high altitude safety technician’! Need to mention this to my flight attendant friend!
I think this is one story where the main character should have killed his wife. It sounds like the beginning of a story like The Handmaid’s Tale – and she needs to be stopped. I do enjoy good male toxicity!
