Here's a funny little joke

Here's a funny little joke I heard yesterday...

A boy asks his mother why wedding dresses are always white. The mother explains that it symbolizes purity and innocence. The boy asks his father the same question. The father replies "Why son, all household appliances come in white!"

Which leads me into my next random rambling thought... I've been trying to decide what to get the missus for Christmas. My finances are never in the same place every year. Gifts over the past 12 years have ranged from diamonds to discount coupons for back rubs. This year I have a little extra jingle jangle in my pocket but not much. The missus has been suffering from terrible allergies and I, being the practical one, thought "Hey! A HEPA filter!" Not only would it be a great relief to her - but maybe I could actually sleep through the night without all the wheezing and sneezing too! So I looked around and found a great site but then thought "Okay, this is getting a bit complicated, maybe I should let her pick one out." So I sent her the link and explained that I wanted to get her one as a gift this year. Her reply? "How romantic..." I could actually hear her eyeballs clink as they rolled back in her head.

Yeah, maybe she's right. It IS kind of like saying "Merry Christmas honey, here's your new vacuum, now get crackin'!"

Back to the drawing board....
