glennajo, your gift reminds me of the time my crazy uncle swung by for Christmas. He handed my brother and me a single plastic bag and said we were to split its contents. There was some gum, a couple of pens, and two large bath brushes (with removable heads). He gave my cousins (his nieces) a Ouija board to share.
Had to think a while, but I think the teabag squeezer my best friend gave me (as a joke though :P) one Christmas was the strangest item I have ever received.
My little sister gave me an eraser and pencil wrapped up one Christmas, but she was only about 5 years old, so she was simply beaming when I opened the package, because she had bought it herself with her own money. It was actually the best Christmas present I have ever received (the thought behind it beats any present before and after.)
Heehee. Sounds like my kind of kid. It's great that you have it on display. :upQuote:

Paulie,I wish you could hear me laughing. I'm dying here!!!The laugh smilie just doesn't get the point across.:rofl :rofl I started giggling thinking about it, and I'm still having little outbursts!:laugh I can just see your face when you opened the bag! "Woo Hoo! Wait,... WTF?":roflQuote:

Maybe my Dad is your crazy uncle.:shrug ;)
We got a set of four paper placemats--the kind they set on the table of mom and pop's family restaurant in places like Globe, Arizona--for a wedding present. The strangest part was that they were from a really wealthy old couple who live in a giant mansion up on the mountain. :shrug
These are some very funny gifts.
I forgot that a few years ago my folks gave me a cd of fireplace sound. You know, crackling and popping. The weird thing is, I HAVE A FIREPLACE!!! I mean, did they want me to be able to set a romantic mood with Mrs. Wayner in the car or something? :shrug
Spegs, paper placemats? The kind you throw away when you're done eating? I bet the rich old couple on the mountain have lots of money because they don't spend it on wedding gifts.:)
And "bow chicka bow bow" @Wayner!:laugh
That was my thought exactly regarding the paper mats, Glennajo.Quote:

As for bcbb in my car; at the time I was driving a '96 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's impossible to get get jiggy in an Eclipse. Well, at least it is if you're 6'3". :nod
Well, why do you think they were wealthy?Quote:

Or maybe more aptly put, how do you think they got wealthy? :lol
edit: Okay, everyone is way too fast typing. Still have the slowest fingers in the west!
Spegs, I bet they gave some other couple a bunch of sweet and low from the same table!
Paulie, that is just sad! I did get a set of glasses for my wedding from the Pastor of my church growing up and the garage sale sticker was still on the box!
Oh and a bunch of bathroom stuff , but not towels, it was like those flower stickers for the tub so you won't slip, cleaning supplies and a plunger.. hmm that was fun!
