Wink What's the worst Christmas gift you got for your wife?

It's that time of year again, and every year I get reminded of the time back in the mid 70's when I bought my wife an ironing board cover for Christmas. Just couldn't figure out what she really needed, but she sure did need a new ironing board cover. Needless to say, it wasn't a big hit.

nothing , as she couldn't make up her mind what she wanted/needed , needless to say she piffed me off so I determined I wasn't going to get her anything , needless to say it was the only time I liked driving over the road . ( she was miffed for about a month afterwords . ) and even when we divorced rshe reminded me of it . ( after she used a large amount of money on her boyfreind that I earned )

I remember one year my Dad got my Mom a roast beef slicer for X-mas. Didn't go over real well.

Default Shake Weight...this year

I just bought my wife a womens shake weight...the smaller white one.

My reference... the most hilarious Southpark episode ever: Season 14 Episode 14 “Crème Fraiche” I made her watch it with me. I hope it doesn't get thrown when she opens it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMS4lReUUzM

Dec 17th you can watch the full episode... http://www.southparkstudios.com/full...-creme-fraiche

This will be our first Christmas together as hubby and wife and I know already he is planning on bringing my car here after the Holiday so we can start working on the body and he just bought a new welder as well, so that is an AWESOME gift right there! Can't wait to have it here to work on whenever I have the free time!

My Dad told me a long time ago to never buy anything with a cord or the word diet on it.

I never asked him how he came to that wisdom. !! ! ! ! !
