My missus got BUSTED!

[ebfd11]

One present I gave my my mom one year was 100 dollars, all in 1 dollar bills. The only thing is I wrapped it in an ol 26" tv box filled with those styrafoam peanuts. It took her an hour to find all the money...

(Side note) it took me 3 days to pick up all the peanuts. Ill never do that again..

Another idea:

1. Get a very large balloon (3' in diameter)

2. Get a tank of helium

3. Fill balloon

4. Cover wrapping paper with glue (slow setting)

5. Carefully wrap balloon

6. When someone opens that heart-attack inducing contraption, the balloon's membrane is torn, and:



For extra fun, add rancid meat!

Penguin, there are times when I despair of you . . . 

Hoho, Lynx, my father was just as fussy about the string that secured parcels back in the day. Being a sailor, he'd rather spend an age untying the knots than cut them. My Scottish mother thoroughly approved of such a money-saving idea - and never ran out of string.

One year on my grandfather's birthday, I used a brick to add weight to a light box.  When he opened it he said, "You'll see this again."  Christmas rolls around and he hands me a "special" gift from him.  About the size and feel of a box of 12 gauge shells. Cool.  Nope!  He cut the brick down to the size of shell box and taped quarters all over it.  That was the last time I tried to trick him with a present. 

As my uncle said, "Old age and deciet will overcome youth and skill every time."

Merry Christmas, all.

I am a constant source of annoyance for my parents. I am always finding my presents before Christmas and my birthday. But lately, they've gotten better at hiding them. They change the Amazon.com password and they don't open the boxes when they arrive. I still find them though! They forgot to change their email password so I saw the shipping confirmation. And as for trick presents, my dad replaced my iPod with a rock on my 16th birthday. I still have that rock sitting on my desk.

Had a friend whose wife always would shake her presents to tell what they were . So one year he wrapped wooden blocks in paper so it looked like a big box. She picked it up and the blocks when everywhere. OOPs She couldnt hide that.
