Did You Feed My Husband?
FOUND by Tom
in Washington, DC
This showed up in my mailbox (wrong address): an unsigned postcard from Grand Teton National Park. Don't most people put meals in the freezer if they know someone can't take care of himself?

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
LOL! I LOVE it! The writer probably doesn't cook, so no Tupperware - Reheats for this guy...
The first thing that came to mind, was a pre-paid aggreement w/said pizza shop for so many meals while the spouse was gone.
"So, that's 5 pizzas over 10 days...and oh, just give him a big, bowl of soda and he'll be fine."
This is hysterical.
I wonder if she sent a postcard to the local bar to be sure her husband got something to drink as well. I suspect he'd have needed it with a gal like this.
Sounds like a wife who doesn't trust her husband to me. I took this as her checking up on his story, although a postcard is an odd way to do this.
Maybe she suspected him of cheating on her, and this was part of her own private investigation.
This is FOUND perfection!
The moose, the butterfly, Old Faithful, the handwriting, the triple-intersection address, and the wonderfully daft message all come together in a divinely blond moment. I'm beside myself with joy. I would love to meet this person and just listen to what she has to say.
The next time I'm in DC, I'm going to Duccini's for sure. It's just two minutes from Dupont Circle. As you begin to turn onto U from Florida, there it is.
Of course they fed her husband!
What's with the "she must be suspicious or overbearing" stuff?
It's just a sweet postcard to the neighborhood pizza guy. "Missin' yer pizza, you been feedin' my Husband? Bet you have!"
WHO IN THE HELL PUTS COKE IN A BOWL, SOCK MONKEY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
it's hard to see at first, but
the word "if" is after the word "see," and there's a part covered by the stamp...the the card reads "did you see if my husband ---- while i was away?"
the question is, what was her husband supposed to do while she was away?
then again, that looks like a pre-stamped postcard, so it couldn't be covering a word. but there is definitely a word after "see" that looks like "if," which i think is key to cracking this code.
No way, that's "feed," not "see if." No doubt about it.
I think it reads: Did you feed my husband while I was away? Hey i could be wrong too, but that is what it loos like to me?????
this is the stupidest thing i've ever seen. is it even signed? she hopes the address is right and its a question mark and vague intersection hints for the postman. what a doof.
metta, i think it says did you feed my husband, thus the title of the find.
Maybe her husband is on a strict diet and the pizza guys shouldn't be feeding him while she's away. Of course, why ask a question in a postcard, it's not as though the recipient can respond to it (especially if you don't leave a name). I like the secret code theories, "if you get a postcard asking if you fed my husband, kill him and put him in the landfill, but if you get one asking if you washed his car, the hit is off." For all we know, Duccini's is a front for the mob...
The only thing I got from this is that this woman is a lunatic, her husband has been dead for about 5 years and now she compensates with cats. This did not come from someone who spends their whole day in a bathrobe, drinking scotch and yelling at lamps.
this is a woman who knows her husband too well and I love it! so funny!!!
Well, it certainly doesn't say "see if," but if we think there's a chance of the S, then it reads: "Did you seed my husband while I was away?"
Love it! Midlife is right.
So weird - I like the code theory. Because if it is a real question, how were they supposed to answer her? Well, actually no - then she wouldn't have addressed it to "all staff/owners". And does she want the answer to be yes or no? It is as if they will know what the answer should be, and it is a reminder to do it or not to do it.
It doesn't seem like a friendly postcard to me - more of a business, need-for-information tone.
"So, that's 5 pizzas over 10 days...and oh, just give him a big, bowl of soda and he'll be fine." LOL!
It looks like "seed", but the first letter does not look like the "s" or "f" that she wrote elsewhere. Possibly "M" - Med? Maybe it was s'posed to be "meet" and she is trying to get him a job there.
In any event, she should chill out and gaze at the Grand Tetons instead of worrying about her daily psychotic stresses for a change.
PLEASE if anyone goes to Duccini's, ask them wtf! And tell us!
no wonder it didn't make it there; she forgot the NW:
duccini's
1778 U St NW
Washington, DC 20009
ok, ok, i'm wrong....it's not "see if." i still have to squint to read "feed" though. i'm stumped on this strange find.
I think i've fallen in love with 'Midlife Crisis'!!! Will you marry me?
It's just weird. Why would she ask "did you feed...while I was away" instead of "are you feeding..while I am away?".
My favourite part is the "and I hope at least your address is right" - when clearly the address isn't what you would call an address, more a direction. Where she went wrong is that she should have specified it from the sorting office..."so take your first right, at the 3rd traffic lights turn left, then four blocks up, and Duccini's is across from the big fire hydrant..."
I think she went on holiday with her friend and one night they had a great meal, got a little drunk, they went back to their room and started chatting about how their useless husbands were surviving without them. She then thought it would be a great idea (and hysterical!) to say thank you to the pizza place that was obviously feeding her lazy husband.
i am on the same track as NatDF, she was definitely into her cups at this point. most definitely...
"Hot and Saucy Pizza Boys and the Abandoned Husband"... bauwm chicka bauwm bauwm!
Another classic of Gay Porn!
Reminds me of my ex. He was quite a few years older than me, and a friend and I used to joke that a plus to that was I'd still be young and ready to play when he was... older. In a few years, she and I would be going out the door: "The Ensure's in the fridge, hon! Be back in a few hours!"
Something about this note has a tone of urgency. This mystery woman needs to know if her husband got fed while she was gone. I think he's got alzheimers, has gone missing and she's looking for him, hoping the pizza guys saw him.
Unfortunately, hubby isn't the only senile one.
maybe old people should be thrown in volcanos.
I think this woman passed away, and the owner of Duccini's felt so much sympathy for her widower that he sent him pizza every week to sustain him through his mourning until he could cook for himself.
She sent Duccini's a thank you note from the Other Side, but the only thing she had on her was a postcard with pre-paid postage. Because postage isn't free, even when you're dead.
She said "while I was away," so clearly she's planning on coming back for him.
She wants to see if her pizza craving husband was cheating his diet while she was away. She should have just left premade dinners to avoid the problem of addressing 'all staff and owners' to see if they fed him. geez!
Why does she need to "find out you name"?
I'm with Marie. Gun for hire.
This find has me completely baffled. I would like to know:
If it's Duccini's Pizza, why does she address it to the "Pizza Duccini guys"?
Why does she need to find out their name- is she planning on sending them a followup letter or calling them or what? (I'm assuming she meant youR name)
Could she not look them up in the freaking directory? Call information?
What is her overall, intended purpose for this postcard? Does she actually want to know and/or care if her husband ate there? She can't think she's going to get any information from this, so why ask it? Why not say: You fed my husband while I was away, thank you!?
Is she just a complete nutjob?
I love this found!!! If I'm ever in DC, I'm going to that pizza place!
ok, i had to cut and paste this post, because the 'captcha' thing wouldnt let me by with "george" being the name of the first president of the united states.
she was drunk, Mickey B. Or perhaps, in the same state as you are in now.
oh come on, the first president of the united states? come on.. i'm freaking canadian.. now i'll have to wikipedia that. See you in an hour.
And, before all of you say how stupid canadians are, name me the first prime minister. I'll take any of his names.

I got nothing.

I wish I had a big bowl of coke.
Special Sauce is correct. It sounds like she's already back from her trip, plus everyone knows it takes weeks for a postcard to arrive anywhere, so she's no doubt been back in town for quite a while. Maybe someone should call the pizza joint and see if they're missing an insane customer.
mona lisa you are pathetic. i'm also canadian but its no trouble for me to think of the first president. however, i would probably have to look up the first PM. so i guess we're both pathetic
OK I am pathetic. How could I not know that?? But still, the first president is easy too.
She probably signed it, but that bar code at the bottom is a sticker, affixed by the USPS to direct the card in the mail sorting machines. It covers most post card signatures. Geeze, doesen't anybody here recieve post cards anymore? No one must think of you when they are on vacation!
I bet they are a weekly regular at the pizza joint, and she went on a trip to the mountains with her high school class mates or some girl power group trip and sent them a card just to be cool. I've sent cards to my "regular" hang-outs when I was away. My "irregular" hang-outs, that's another story...
I think she had a special thing going with the delivery boy. So when she goes to Grand Teton she sends him this card to tease him. She probably knew her husband would unknowingly be getting pizzas delivered by her secret lover. Let's hope the Pizza Boy had his pants up when the husband opened the door. Heres the pizza (zzzzip) and heres the pepperoni!
Fatmom, I don't think I'm friends with anyone with enough money to go on vacation anymore.
Also, this seems like something my mom would joke about.
Maybe she had a thing with the postman, and they spent their days making fun of her husband.
That's why she didn't take the time to look up the address.
Maybe she's just a lazy skank.
My best friend and I have been sending nonsensical postcards to each other and otheres for 25 years. When we were in our 20s we used made up names thinking that the mail carrier would get a laugh. Ha, the laugh's on us, I guess. We have saved all these postcards and still regularly correspond this way, but not with the fake names anymore. I mean, 25 cents for the card (yikes, I spent a buck last week) and 26 cents for postage? What a bargain.
I do think this woman was under the influence of some substance, but that's what vacations are for, no? She obviosly mailed it from Yellowstone, the postmark is clear even without the magifier (love that feature, Found guys).
Wish I'd known about this pizza place when I was in DC in April.
I agree with agargara that she suspects him of cattin' around while she's on vacation, either going out of town or having her over. If she finds out he ordered pizza, then he must've stayed home, or if he did, she wants to know if the delivery guy saw any ladies hangin' around.
Seriously...COKE...IN A BOWL?
I dont know about anyone else, but I read "did you SEE my husband", maybe her husband was SUPPOSED (im from FL, dont correct my gramar) to be on diet, and while wifey was away, husband wanted to "play".
I think that this couple orders pizza a lot, so they are comfortably aquainted with the pizza delivery person. The delivery guy probably jokingly requested a postcard, and she jokingly sent him one.
I just hope the husband didn't request extra anchovies. She might have a hard time explaining that one to him. ;o)
Oh and the Coke in a bowl thing. Come on, it's not that hard to figure out. What does a pet owner do when they go out of town and can't afford to board their animal? They leave out a big bowl of food and water and ask someone to come by every couple of days.
