Accompanied by his sweethearts younger sister, he went to Sears and bought a pair of white 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 and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents he sealed the package and mailed it to his sweetheart along with this note:
Darling,
I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears the short ones that are easy to remove.
These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past 3 weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had her try yours on 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 see you again. When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many times I will kiss them during 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.
Most 17-year-old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work out.
The women will roll their eyes and groan and wait it out.
Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot their "i's" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p's" and "g's." It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she's dumping you, she'll put a smiley face at the end of the note.
The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.
Men's magazines have sexy women on the cover.
A man waits until the only items left in his refrigerator are half of a lemon, and something turning green. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time he reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than a clown car. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.
When a woman says she's ready to go out, it means that she WILL be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring, finishes putting on her makeup...
A man wears one pair of shoes for the entire day.
Men have millions of shoes, one for every sport or athletic activity.
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.
Men look into the mirror before they go out for no apparent reason.
Men use garages for many things. They hang license plates in garages, they watch TV in garages, and they build useless wooden things in garages.
For men, it's when the entire 3rd floor of the research lab blows up but the terminator drives out in "Terminator II".
In general, women like movies with more romance than competition and violence (which they call "Male Testosterone Movies"). Men like movies with more competition and violence than romance (which they call "Chick Flicks").
A man can get away with wearing one ring, and that's it. Any more than that, and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic.
Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction. He buys aviator glasses, snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for an expensive foreign sports car.
A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.
Men consider this to be a sign of weakness. A man will never stop and ask for directions. Men will drive in a circle for hours, all the while saying things like, "Looks like I've found a new way to get there," and, "I know I'm in the neighborhood. I recognize that White Hen store."
The last man who admitted that he was wrong was Gen. George Custer.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.
Women think he is a mean, semi-dorky guy who always has a bad haircut.
Women purchase Kodak Instamatics, and often produce better-looking shots.
Women are very happy that another generation of Kennedys is growing up and getting into politics, because they will be able to campaign for them and cry on election night.
A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the laundromat, and expect to meet a beautiful woman while he is there.
Men try and change the subject.
Male cheerleaders are scary.
Women wear strange socks. They are cut below the ankles, have pictures of teddy bears or hearts on them, and are most likely pink.
Men never grow out of their obsession with toys. As they get older, their toys simply become more expensive and impractical. Examples of men's toys: miniature TV's, car phones, complicated juicers and blenders, graphic equalizers, computer programs that do useless things very fast, video games, and anything that blinks, beeps and requires at least six "D" batteries to operate.
There are no women who look good with mustaches.
But if Mike, Dave and Jack go out for a brewski, they will affectionately refer to each other as Bullet-Head, Peanut-Brain, and Useless.
For women the process is much more complicated. First, numerous hair styles, colorings and lengths must be considered. The only hairstylist in the world they trust must be reserved. The whole process is filled with excitement and worry. And finally she hides from the world for several days because she is not sure if she likes her new haircut.
Men like sports that are judged on physical aggression and violence, such as football, hockey and boxing.
There are no sports that both men and women enjoy. Full contact gymnastics
never got off the ground.

Some poor SuperMac TechSport got a call from some middle level official... from the legitimate government of Trinidad. The fellow spoke very good English, and fairly calmly described the problem.
It seemed there was a coup attempt in progress at that moment. However, the national armoury for that city was kept in the same building as the Legislature, and it seems that there was a combination lock on the door to the armoury. Of the people in the capitol city that day, only the Chief of the Capitol Guard and the Chief Armourer knew the combination to the lock, and they had already been killed.
So, this officer of the government of Trinidad continued, the problem is this. The combination to the lock is stored in a file on the Macintosh, but the file has been encrypted with the SuperMac product called Sentinel. Was there any chance, he asked, that there was a "back door" to the application, so they could get the combination, open the armoury door, and defend the Capitol Building and the legitimately elected government of Trinidad against the insurgents?
All the while he is asking this in a very calm voice, there is the sound of gunfire in the background. The Technical Support guy put the person on hold. A phone call to the phone company verified that the origin of the call was in fact Trinidad. Meanwhile, there was this mad scramble to see if anybody knew of any "back doors" in the Sentinel program.
As it turned out, Sentinel uses DES to encrypt the files, and there was no known back door. The Tech Support fellow told the customer that aside from trying to guess the password, there was no way through Sentinel, and that they'd be better off trying to physically destroy the lock.
The official was very polite, thanked him for the effort, and hung up. That night, the legitimate government of Trinidad fell. One of the BBC reporters mentioned that the casualties seemed heaviest in the capitol, where for some reason, there seemed to be little return fire from the government forces.
O.K., so they shouldn't have kept the combination in so precarious a fashion. But it does place, "I can't see my Microsoft Mail server" complaints in a different sort of perspective, does it not?
On one particular occasion, he invited a Czechoslovakian friend to stay with him. The friend, eager to get a freebee off a lawyer, agreed.
Well, they had a splendid time in the country - rising early and living in the great outdoors.
Early one morning, the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian companion went out to pick berries for their morning breakfast. As they went around the berry patch, gathering blueberries and raspberries in tremendous quantities, along came two huge Bears - a male and a female.
Well, the lawyer, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for cover. His friend, though, wasn't so lucky, and the male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as fast has he could, and got the local backwoods sheriff. The sheriff grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with the lawyer. Sure enough, the two bears were still there.
"He's in THAT one!" cried the lawyer, pointing to the male, while visions of lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head. He just had to save his friend.
The sheriff looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, leveled his gun, took careful aim, and SHOT THE FEMALE.
"Whatdya do that for!" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in the other!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "and would YOU believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was in the Male?"
"On 23 March 1994, the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound of the head. The decedent had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide (he left a note indicating his despondency). As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the eighth floor level to protect some window washers and that Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide anyway because of this."
"Ordinarily," Dr. Mills continued, "a person who sets out to commit suicide ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended. That Opus was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not have changed his mode of death from suicide to homicide. But the fact that his suicidal intent would not have been successful caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands. "The room on the ninth floor whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing and he was threatening her with the shotgun. He was so upset that, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the a window striking Opus.
"When one intends to kill subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. When confronted with this charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. The old man said it was his long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her - therefore, the killing of Opus appeared to be an accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.
"The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal incident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
There was an exquisite twist. "Further investigation revealed that the son [Ronald Opus] had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a ninth story window.
"The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide."
The lady was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's office. Introductions were made and she stated that she liked to get to know the people she did business with on a more personal level. The bank president then asked her how she came into such a large sum of money.
"Was it an inheritance??" he asked. "No" she replied. He was quiet for a
minute, trying to think where this little old lady could possibly have
come into $3 million.
"I bet," she stated.
"You bet?" said the bank president. "As in horses?"
"No," she replied, "I bet on people". Seeing his confusion, she
explained that she just bet different things with people. All of a sudden
she said, "I'll bet you $25,000 that by 10:00 tomorrow morning your balls
will be square." That bank president figured that she must be off her
rocker and decided to take her up on her bet. He didn't see how he could
lose. For the rest of the day the bank president was very careful. He
decided to stay home that evening and take no chances--there was $25,000
at stake.
When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked to make sure that everything was OK. There was no difference--he looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the little old lady to come in at 10:00, humming as he went. He knew that this would be a good day--how often do you get handed $25,000 for doing nothing? At 10:00 sharp the little old lady was shown into his office. With her was a younger man. When he inquired as to the man's purpose for being there, she informed him that the man was her lawyer and that she always took him along whenever there was this much money involved.
"Well," she asked, "what about our bet?"
"I don't know how to tell you this," he replied, "but I'm the same as I
always have been, only $25,000 richer!" The lady seemed to accept this,
but requested that she be allowed to see for herself. The bank president
thought that this was reasonable and dropped his trousers. She
instructed him to bend over and then she grabbed hold of him. Sure
enough every was fine. The bank president then looked up and saw her
lawyer standing across the room banging his head against the wall.
"Whats wrong with him?" he inquired.
"Oh him," she replied, "I bet him $100,000 that by 10:00 this morning I'd
have the president of the Chase Manhattan bank by the balls.
If there are five birds in a tree and a hunter comes along and shoots one, how many are left.
Little Johnny: None.
Teacher: How did you come up with that answer?
Little Johnny: The sound of the gun will cause the other birds to fly away.
Teacher: Well, thats the wrong answer, but I like the way you think.
Little Johnny: I have a question for you. Three women are sitting on a park bench with popsicles. One is eating one, one is sucking one, and one is licking one. Which of the three women is married?
Teacher (taking a guess): The one sucking the popsicle.
Little Johnny: No, the one wearing the wedding ring....but I like the way you think.

"George Washington Carver," said little tyrone in the front row.
"Very good, you may take the rest of the day off," she said.
"No, I want to stay in school and learn more," said little tyrone.
"OK, Who said, 'I have a Dream,'" she asked.
Again, tyrone raised his hand, "Martin Luther King"
"Very good, you are excused"
"No, I want to stay in school and learn more," said little tyrone
From the back of the room, little johnny hissed "Shut up you fuckin nigger!"
"WHO SAID THAT," the teacher demanded.
"Mark Furman," said little johnny, "See you tommorrow!!!!"
Teacher explained the use of the word PERHAPS and asked her class of little bastards to use it in a sentence.
Jimmy stood up and said "If we are all good perhaps teacher will let us go home early."
She asked little Johnny if he could do one and he said
"Please, Miss, does it have to be made up?"
Teacher said it didn't have to be made up, it could be true, as long as it contained the word perhaps.
So Johnny said "When I saw Teacher and the music teacher taking their pants off in the music room I thought perhaps they are going to shit in the piano."
Little Johnny was spending the week with his grandparents. One morning his grandfather saw him sitting at the bottom of the back steps,all bent over and playing in the dirt. He walked over to him and asked what he was doing.
Johnny replied "I'm trying to push this worm back into the ground!"
Grandfather watched for a few more minutes and before he left he said "Johnny, if you figure out a way to stick that worm back into the ground I'll give you a dollar."
Johnny thought and thought and went into the kitchen, got a can of spray starch, sprayed the worm until it was so stiff he could stick it back into the ground.
He called his grandfather over to show him that he solved the problem. His grandfather was delighted and gave him $1.
The next morning Johnny was sitting on the back steps when his grandfather walked up to him and gave him $5. Johnny asked why he gave him $5 and grandpa said "The $1 was from me - the $5 is from your grandmother!

He says, "Oooooo!! Big word for a twelve-year-old!!"
When Coca-Cola first shipped to China, they named the product something that when pronounced sounded like "Coca-Cola." The only problem was that the characters used meant "Bite the wax tadpole." They later changed to a set of characters that mean "Happiness in the mouth."
