Friday Wisdom – Gifts

Posted on 12/18/2020 by Andrew Reynolds

A friend of mine got a hair piece before he went on vacation, so I bought him a comb as a parting gift.

Beware of geeks bearing gifts.

I was invited to a house warming party for my friends, so I bought them a propane heater.

Another reason not to mess with Santa Claus: He has a black belt.

Murphy’s Law of Husband Gift Buying: First time you go out after giving your wife a gift you’ll find it marked down 50%.  Corollary: If your wife is with you, she’ll assume you bought it because it was cheap.

The Second Law of gifts: You get the most of what you need the least.

Did you hear about the guy who stole an advent calendar? He got 25 days.

You can give your wife jewels, designer clothes, and expensive perfume, but she’ll never forget the year you bought her a mop … never …

    Last one, definitely. Though I didn’t think the one about the gift then being on sale could be topped. If it were me, I’d be mad my husband didn’t get it when it was on sale!

    Yeah, there aren’t enough diamonds in the world to make up for a mop. Unless the mop came with a maid, in which case you’re golden. 😉
