GUY’S CORNER
“Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for the genius in you” by Dr.Ajay Hotchandani
Before we even get into the Valentine’s Day and gift ideas I think we need to address a topic that has too long been ignored, where the hell is our (a man’s) version of Valentine’s Day? Granted, everyday my girl stays with me is a testament to her patience and contribution to humanity, but still, I think guys just want to feel special too. Have something to look forward to besides our birthdays, which when you are too old to get toys is no longer fun. But I digress…..unique gift ideas for your woman as the cliché roses are way overdone and rather unoriginal. So let’s have a look at gifts you can get your woman to convey your eternal gratitude for her glaucoma like vision to find you attractive. 1. Pygmy Baby Goat – there is no rhyme or reason to this gift except it scream, “I’m one original bastard!”. The good thing about Pygmy baby goats is that they don’t grow any bigger than a dog so you won’t be dealing with a goat chewing up your furniture or shoes. The only problem is trying to find a pygmy baby goat. 2. A dozen pineapples – given the nature of the article so far it isn’t to difficult to believe that I actually did this once, and it was met with a look of “WTF!” followed up by smiles and a thank you for not brining a dozen roses. It was actually a good idea. My only advice is to use a basket to deliver it because trying to carry a dozen pineapples to impress a woman is rather painful and shameful. 3. Pack of Men’s Underwear – this one is pretty straightforward, she has a pack of 5 underwear and each underwear is like a “Get out of jail free” card. See if you toss in a dirty underwear and she just doesn’t feel like washing it, she can take out one of the new underwear and toss out the dirty one, and she can do this up to 5 times for the year. The best part of this gift is that within minutes of explain the gift to her you will be single and in charge of your own underwear. I have not tried this one yet, not brave enough. 4. Nothing….that’s right, get her nothing. My dad has been married for 58 years and has never gotten my mom a gift for any occasion. In a conversation I had with him couple of years ago I asked him what he would be getting mom for Valentine’s Day and his answer was daringly genius. “If I get her something now she will always expect a gift so I don’t want to get her use to that!” MIND BLOWN!!!! All I could do was laugh and arrange for more gifts for my mom from the rest of us. Well boys….good luck. I am going to go look for a goat wearing my underwear.
