Husband and Wife Christmas Shopping
A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to do, so she called him on the mobile.

The wife said " Where are you, you know we have lots to do."
He said "You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?"

Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all
choked up…

"Yes, I do remember that shop." she replied.

"Well I am in the gun shop next door to that."

Same thing here. Jewelry shop offering a free rifle with diamond purchase.
 
Wow, wish they would offer that kind of thing around here! PA and MO? I'm going to take a wild guess that you guys are a little closer to the Great Outdoors than I am, here in the suburbs of Chicago... I don't think I'll be seeing that offer anytime soon.

Nah, but there are bunch of car dealerships not far from Chicago that include a shotgun when someone buys a new truck.
 
Normally my wife would have found humor in that but its 1 oclock, shes sleeping next to me and I almost woke her up as I was laughing at the joke. Thanks
 
I'm covered, bought my wife earrings in Florance Italy this summer. Now she's encouraging my looking at guns. Just bought a pair of Baikal Target Air Pistols. Of course SHE thinks one of them will be hers.
 
The reality could have been:

Him- "Well, as I expected, I found that exact set in a pawn shop! With the price difference, I can purchase the necklace AND a nice (fill in firearm name, rank and serial number here) that they've got in the case. IF I do that, they'll make it a nice package deal! "

Speaks of the reality of shiny objects' real value in hard times, appeals to her survival instincts to sniff out a sale, AND addresses the Christmas conundrum in one fell swoop! Christmas is served !!!!!!

(Yeah, you likely guessed I'm not a fan of wearing sparkles. And yes, my wife and I HAVE had "intense sharing of differing viewpoints" on several occasions. Thanks for asking.... ) :uhoh:
 
Several years ago I had to take a gag gift to our staff Christmas party. I broke some branches off a dead tree in the yard and placed them in a potted plant box along with dirt. I used red ribbon to tie a 38 cartridge to one of the branches. My "Cartridge in a Bare Tree" was the most popular gift of the party.

There is a jewelry store and gun shop in central Arkansas who do this too. The two businesses are owned by members of the same family.

I bet I know 50 guys who would do the exact same thing, and not know why she was FURIOUS.
