The SWMBO and I always open 1 present Christmas Eve and we are able to choose 1.... So..... Of course I choose the box that looks like a brush box.
Slowly opening I see the familiar Gray color and the excitement grows......... she took the hints, the only question is... is it a Duke or a Berkeley, or a Classic ??????
The end of the Box comes into view.... and it says.............................................. ...
G3 ????? WHAT?????????????????
I quickly open the box to not find a brush but a note inside..... which reads.... "Got cha...... Now that I have your attention. I had no idea where was the best place to buy a brush so here's the deal.... Three Hundred to buy whatever you want" and folded up small was 3 Franklins.
Sure am glad I got her those nice earrings
AM I LUCKY OR WHAT ?????

Good move Brian. It would have been sad if you bought her a new coffee maker.

Most excellent gift! Mrs. Brianw is a keeper. That's a bunch of Rooneys, Simpsons, Shavemacs, Savile Rows and Kents. Or 1 Plisson.

Brian, I'll tell you what I'd tell any other mod-
Say, "Honey, you didn't have to get me anything. Just being married to you is the greatest gift of all."

I'd have to order it myself or give my wife the link, otherwise I'd wind up with a shoe brush.

So, you're getting a $100 brush, what's the other $200 getting blown on?
