The Gift ~~~~~~~~ A young man wished to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday and as they had not been dating very long, and after careful consideration, he decided that a pair of gloves would strike just the right note. Romantic, but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he went to the most exclusive store in town and bought a pair of gloves. The younger sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During the wrapping the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves while the beau got the panties. Without checking the contents, he sealed the package and mailed it to his sweetheart along with the following note. Darling, I enclose these because I noticed you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out of an evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears short ones that are easy to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady i bought them from showed me a pair she had been wearing for the last three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had her try on yours for me and she looked really smart. I wish I was there to put them on you for the first time as, no doubt, other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to. Remember, when you take them off, to blow in them before you put them away, as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think of how many times I will kiss them through the coming year! I hope you will wear them for me on Friday night. All my love P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing. -- NOTE: I did not write this. I am publishing it on the web purely for the enjoyment of the human race.
