Handkerchief Drill

Whether at the cinema, in the office or at home, a man is never embarrassed about sneezing loudly and unhygienically.  His wife, tired of his behaviour, attempts to get some help from the narrator.  Will she manage to make her husband be aware of how useful a handkerchief is?  Or must she have him taken away and locked up?
