Archive-name: Humour/birthdy.txt Archive-author: Archive-title: Birthday Present A young man wanted to buy his sweetheart a birthday present. So, after due consideration, he decided on a pair of gloves. Accompanied by his sister, he went to the ready-to-wear shoppe. He bought a pair of gloves, while his sister got some panties for herself. In the delivery, the packages became mixed. She got the gloves while he got the panties. Without examination of the package, it was sent to his sweetheart. The following note accompanied the package... This is to show you that I haven't forgotten your birthday. I chose them because I noticed that you are not in the habid of wearing them when we go out in the evening. If it hadn't been for my sister, I would have gotten the long ones with buttons, but she said the short ones are more in style. These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me a pair that she had been wearing for three weeks, and they hardly looked soiled. The clerk tried on a pair and they looked very smart. When you take them off, blow in them, as they may become damp from wearing. How I wish I could put them on you for the first time. No doubt many men's hands will come in contact with them before I have the chance. I hope you will like them and wear them on Friday night. P.S. I just think of how many times I will kiss the back of them in the following years... --
