He is not all that tall, you see…

Question : If you are a furniture company, what should be your core competencies ?

I would list a) Ability to pick good laminates, b) put it on compressed wood disguised as ply and more importantly c) ‘get the measurement right’!!. Its that simple right. Even I thought so, till I watched this:

Its an advert of a company (does not matter which) in which, the wifey stereo-typically plays down the choices of Husband, just because she can; and of course we look for good cliche to go with our adverts.

Anyways, this is how it goes :

Hubby : A King sized bed..

Wife : Nope, a Queen Size if fine. He is not that tall, you see…   

Now, if you have not participated in purchase of a bed since British (and their queen) left India, please Google “Bed sizes“. FACT : The King and Queen size beds are of exact same length and it does not matter how tall you are !

Now, these are the sort of things I would expect my furniture company know, wouldn’t I ?

P.S. Perhaps she wanted to say “He is not all that FAT you see” and then may be SJWs like Huffington post PC proofed it corrected it ? Its a wild guess Let me know if you know.
