then just go ahead and give it to someone else - the gardener, your barber - someone else will enjoy and appreciate the gift.

Sorry, but you need re-education. Such an action could be construed as 'giving a Christmas gift'. That would be even more offensive to the Perpetually Offended Thinskins, than being merely offered one.

Such a suggestion might even provoke him to set fire...Oh; wait; I'm confusing this Perpetually Offeneded Thinskin with the other Perpetually Offended Thinskins.

Reply to Reply - Not necessarily. If Jerry points out to the person he’s re-gifting the poinsettia to that he’s Jewish, yet he’s aware that the gardener and/or barber is Christian, then he can give them the gift without insulting them and/or without even stating the fact that the poinsettia is a re-gift, which would not be classy.

Three easy steps:

1) Take the poinsettia and place it in the car.
2) Drive to the barber shop where you know the employee(s) are Christian.
3) Drop it off anonymously or non-anonymously.
