Vintage Man Talked to Death Gift Mug

If you want to make your partner, wife or girlfriend really mad, and send a not so subtle hint that she talks or nags too much, our fun mug could be just the ticket. The design shows an illustration of two men carrying their dead friend in a stretcher. One of his surviving friends, a gentleman in a Stetson, points an accusing finger at the dead man. Above the sad scene is the caption, This man was talked to death. Here’s hoping your wife or girlfriend has a sense of humour! The funny mug design is from a vintage print first published by American printmakers Currier & Ives around 1873. Nagging, it seems, was a major issue for men even back then! The mug would make a fun gift for Father's Day. Wives and girlfriends with a sense of humour could purchase it for their partner!
