it's 12" long & has 60 feet glued to the bottom of the hull..........................heeheehee........... .......................................... .........hohohoho
I Love it...sometimes float it in the bathtub......................... ........................
The only thing that ever came close was a going away present from a colleague. She didn't have to do anything, it's not as if I expected anything. But it touched me so deeply that she had at some point actually observed me, made a mental note and purchased something I liked, something that still means a lot to me. It was a very simple silver bracelet, and it's my favorite piece of jewelry. I wear it almost every day.
In comparison, though, a gift from a relative stranger I worked with was more meaningful and heartfelt than anything I've ever gotten from friends or family. It's hard to explain the details, but I've never been worth much to my family and their gifts reflect this. When I used to get them. It was one of a handful of times in my life that I cried, but overall it makes me feel good
This is my first Christmas with my "serious" boyfriend. I've been sick with having to deal with this. I just told him to get me nothing, that we could spend the holiday together and that would mean more to me than anything. Of course he thinks this is my womanly wiles at work, making him second guess everything, but I mean it. Spending Christmas with him and his family is all I want.
A turkey fryer from my husband... I don't fry anything. Ever. I'm scared of scalding hot grease and he bought me a turkey fryer as my main gift. The peanut oil container leaked and got all over my garage cabinet and floor. The oil is imbedded in the wood. I hate that turkey fryer. When he's not looking... it's going to disappear...
thought you would never ask. a gag gift from owner of a biz for topping ten thousand dollars in sales my third month on the job. a sack of potatoes. i was not laughing. 4 thousand was considered good for a seasoned sales person.
A mini Eiffel towel he bought me at Paris while he was on business trip
before we were married
This piece I still have it around
By the way, those worst presents are not secrets!
When growing up, our family went to Mexico a lot, to the nice cities, and beaches, but never to the Grand Canyon, Disney, etc., couldn't afford it.
Fast forward to my adult life... my parents took a trip to New York, took my neices with them, and when we met my parents after the trip, my dad gave me one of those cheap mini Statue of Liberty things, much like your Eiffel Tower. To top it off, it was a piggy bank!
I think I had it for a few weeks, then tossed it in a box somewhere and there is stayed for a couple of years. Then I had moved into a house, and recall seeing that thing again.
About a year later after seeing it, my father passed away from cancer. Some time went by, and then I recalled that little statue. I went to look for it and couldn't; I ended up turning my garage and attic upside down to look for that, for it was the last thing my father gave to me, and though I did not have it, it somehow morphed into my most valued possession that I could not find!
So, I mention this for those who receive crappy gifts from loved ones, you might find it to be the one thing you want to hold on to in the end. Of course, a turkey fryer may not fall into that category!
somebody getting a Britney Spears CD as a gift would probably be very offensive .....
Oh... I have one better;
A guy and his wife went to downtown Detroit. He parked his car on the street and they went shopping.
When he returned he saw his windshield was smashed with a big hole.
That really wasn't what upset him though..
They left season tickets for the Detroit lions on his dashboard.
My godmother gave me one of those elbow strap old-lady purses when I was a teen. Used of course; it still had some of her wadded up tissues in there.
