Dads give the most amusing giftsgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
Dad, being typical Dad, is forever giving me little 'handy' gadgets. The latest one is the best, it's a digital tire guage. Not that the guage is all that exciting. If anything, it's dangerous as I have a habit of letting all the air out of tires while still not getting any kind of reading.The best part of this gift is the packaging. It's a brand called "Monkey Grip". And on the package is a drawing of cute little chimp. Wearing a red and white striped shirt.

IN DEFENSE OF DADS AND THE GIFTS THEY BUYThey worry about daughters. They have not much idea what they really can do. And a cute little gadget is a pretty good shot, frankly!

The packaging amuses far more than the gadget. ;-))

I never got a dagatil spill chocker from my Dad either. However, he and me Ma did help make two digital calculators for me (four if I take my shoes and socks off) ;-)

Ciara, why not scan it and send the picture through. I'm sure that it would then find it's way onto various web sites.

Once I figure out how to open the package without damaging the picture, I will. It's too funny not to share.
