This isn't funny. That woman is an ungratefully bit#h. Besides not only were they expensive but I installed them too. My wife said she liked them. So there!

It could have been a very nice gift.

What I find most intriguing about this story is this guys name: Stan Stanley. Is his full name Stanley Stanley?

I don't understandley people using first names for surnames?

They run these stories at every holiday ... drives me insane. I don't think there's any better present, than for your spouse to notice something you really need and get it for you, instead of listening to what the media says you want.

I'd rather my husband picked up a library book he knew I wanted, than spent a bunch of money on something useless!

Most men love to receive tools as gifts, but give one to a woman and it's grounds for divorce.

I have several items in the house (well, more literally being shipped with my household goods to Texas) that my hubby has given me that I really dont like. However, with most of them, I know he put alot of thought into it and really tried to get me something he thought I would like. I love those things he got me, not because they are pretty or worth alot but because his heart was truly in it when he picked them out for me.

I'm sorry. I'm confused. Was it Mr. Clark who gave the toilet related gift or Mr. Tinkle?

Well, my Uncle once gave my Aunt a mop for Xmas....she didn't talk to him for 3 weeks. He thought he was being practical (the old one was in sad shape). I thought the whole thing was funny...

If I gave the wife that toilet seat for Christmas, I'd be wearing it.

I don't know. I would rather have something practical for Christmas myself. I gave my dad a screwdrive for Christmas one year (I was a really great screwdriver) and he kinda looked a little disappointed. Later in the year he was telling me what a great screwdriver it was. One year when my husband asked me what I wanted I told him I wanted a glue gun. I still have that glue gun. Very useful. Then there was the year I gave everyone shims for Christmas. Never can have enough shims is my motto.

I once gave my soon to be wife a frying pan for her birthday. Here friend asked if she used it as soon as she unwrapped it, on me.

Hey, I was naive and when she had said she needed a frying pan I thought that was a hint.

What are shims? Curtains?

I agree. This year I'm going to give Mrs. Exile a shiny new mop and bucket, and maybe a new ironing board cover. I know it's a bit extravagant, but she deserves it.

Thanks, they're lovely ... what do you do with them? Roof shingles, siding, landscaping? If I knew, I might ask for some for my upcoming wedding anniversary :-).
