We just love jokes that involve hilarious mix-ups. One thing that makes them so funny is that these things can and do happen all the time in real life. In fact, most of us have experienced an embarrassing mix up to two within our lifetimes that still leave us cringing and laughing to this day. Mix-ups are just part of the human experience, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Now, the man in this fictional joke experienced a doozy of a mix-up after he went shopping for a gift for his girlfriend along with her little sister. Once the gifts got mixed up, hilarity naturally ensued.
A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart for Valentine’s day, but they had not been dating very long. After careful consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note: romantic but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart’s younger sister, he went to Nordstrom’s and bought a pair of white gloves. The 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, the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:
“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 the buttons but she wears short ones that are easier 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 three 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 for you the first time as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again. 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.
