This is an article submitted to a 1999 Louisville Sentinel contest to find out who had the wildest Christmas dinners. This won first prize.
As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of panty hose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings were overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty.
One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at Walmart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown.
If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, "What does this do? You're kidding me! Who would buy that?" Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section.
I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush hour.
Finding what I wanted was difficult. Love Dolls come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry. I settled for Lovable Louise. She was at the bottom of the price scale. To call Louise a doll took a huge leap of imagination.
On Christmas Eve and with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life.
My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours. Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours.
The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy but had left the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more.
We all agreed that Louise should remain in her panty hose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the traditional Christmas dinner.
My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door. "What the hell is that?" she asked.
My brother quickly explained, "It's a doll."
"Who would play with something like that?" Granny snapped.
I had several candidates in mind, but kept my mouth shut.
"Where are her clothes?" Granny continued.
"Boy, that turkey sure smells nice Gran" Jay said, to steer her into the dining room.
But Granny was relentless. "Why doesn't she have any teeth?"
Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, "Hang on Granny, hang on!"
My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, "Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?"
I told him she was Jay's friend.
A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home.
The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the panty hose, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa.
The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants.
Granny threw down her napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car.
It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember.
Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh.
Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health!
A ROTFLMAO ping I thought you ladies would enjoy...
(Better than talking about boobs, anyway)
Thanks for the laugh today!!!
I have to stop drinking tea when I read these, I'm tired of cleaning the monitor.
The cranberry sauce through the nose hit me like a fart in Church.
Uh. Ping.
LOL!
Okay, that one's going to the 'Soft. : )
Gee thanks...now I have to explain why I'm laughing out loud to all the other cubites. Maybe I'll share this with them.
What's scary is, it sounds like the average christmas at my house when I was a kid, but without gunplay.
I'm almost certain I've seen this on FR before...but that's okay, it's a classic.
ROFLMAO!
Oh lordy,
My mind went down so many bad roads!
Thank you!
That's hiarious!
This reminds me of my mom's 50th birthday. Long story short a friend and I went shopping for an inflatable man. Our first trip, which had been planned to the minute to avoid all the perverts we thought we would encounter, ended in fits of laughter when the person working the count told us "We ain't got no inflatable men. Sold the last one last week. But we gots this her inflatable sheep. Her name's E-WEE."
My friend ran out of the store laughing and I was left behind to explain that the sheep wasn't really what we had in mind. After that experience going to the next porn shop to buy an inflatable man got a lot easier.
That explains a lot. : )
No amateurs, please. Send FReepmail if you want on/off ISHP list |
Ah it reminds me of the old family get togethers. "Pass a roll please" "DUCK"
LOL! Thanks for the laughs (((((M_F)))))
Pings to some others for some grins. (It's an oldie but goodie!)
"If you keep acting like this you'll never get invited to the White House for dinner!"
"I wonder what a patato gun will do to that inflatable stork" (one of those decorations made with ripstop fabric and a blower in the base.) My Response... "I don't know let me grab the duct tape to make a target and we'll see." Follow by a fwoomp (the distinct sound of a large legume leaving the barrel of a PVC CANNON at a high rate of speed.) And a peel of laughter from the assembled neighbors as the stork deflates and is surmarily cremated...(there was no resurection possible..)
I just did a google search. Apparently this story was actually written in 1996 by Jeff Foxworthy.
