    A number of our younger members have posted recently about either getting engaged, or, in a fit of utter madness, actually going through with the engagement and tying the knot via marriage. Ultimately they are faced with the question that we all have to deal with from time to time: what to get the missus for her birthday or anniversary. This is a delicate question, one fraught with peril and anxiety. However, desist from your worries my young padawan learners for I have found what you seek: The Ultimate Gift[^]! No, that's alright, don't bother thanking me. I'm a modest man, merely trying to make your life a little easier.

    And after receipt of said gift she (with a gleam in her eye) in turn cooks you a meal fit for a king... Hmmm, honey, ummm this kind of (choking) tastes funny.... :^)

      I'm certain that while I'd be laughing my tuckus off, my wife would have considered the ultimate way of getting back at me. Using the gift and then spilling the contents of said gift over my head would be just the start of what I'm sure will be a long, cruel, unusual and tormenting punishment.

          And such a reasonable price too! Rest assured, I shall be availing myself of this wonderful offer, as soon as hell freezes over.

                              According to urinalysis, maybe - but I'm thinking it's in the bag.

                                    If your good lady doesn't like the gift, she can always take it in loo of something better.

                                        I know exactly where to look, but I don't think I'd want to, if it's been around that long!
