I used to buy gifts for my wife, usually things she said she wanted, but she never liked them or used them. So I told her to just buy the kind she wants, but she never does because she can’t find exactly what she wants. Now we don’t bother with gifts.
A surprising moment of clarity for them both. Coincidentally, I have an unopened package in the garage. It’s a gift for my landlord, who turns 79 in 4 days. It is, in fact, a 14" stainless steel frying pan. He’s a retired chef, so he cooks a lot. I was surprised to find he owns only 1 stainless pan, and it’s maybe 8". Since he cooks for me all the time, I figured this would be a nice gift (and more useful than a necklace).

Never thought Sherman was that smart.

Support the local economy, go with pearls.

At least he settled on the “right” choice. Just make sure they are ethically sourced diamonds.

Megan might enjoy having a bigger sweet spot for when she needs to reprimand Sherman, so good choice.

Can she hit you with the necklace? Can she hit you with the frying pan?
Lee26 Premium Member almost 2 years ago
BOTH!

Maybe Megan’s gift to you will be the frying pan.

Sherman, there’s microwave bacon out there, FYI.

Good call going with the diamond necklace, Sherman. Also, instead of a frying pan, why not get one of those microwave bacon cookers?

Given the easy access to rich naked beach apes on vacation, it will be easier to snag a diamond necklace than a frying pan.

Good idea having little bumps around her neck instead if BIG bumps on his head.

Besides, do you really want to give her a weapon.

Obviously the right gift is the one that comes with most bragging rights to her girlfriends.

Diamond necklace seems like a safe bet.

Smart decision Sherm!

Before anyone asks, I have a possible answer as to just how Sherman would get a diamond necklace even though he lives underwater in a lagoon.
All he has to do is wait for a female swimmer wearing one, and then eat her!

Yeah she’d smack you upside your head w/ the frying pan if that’s what you got her for Valentine’s!
