Default Buy wife loo seat for Christmas - thats love!!

I have to tell you this story. I am probably the only husband that bought his wife a lavatory seat for Christmas and lived to tell the tale

Believe me ?

Here's the story...

My wife has ALWAYS wanted a bidet - she really misses the little bleeders (we had one in the UK) and we haven't room in our bathroom to put one here. In Japan about 4 years ago, we stayed at a posh hotel where the Bidet was built into the loo seat. It was really high tech and WAY too cool (and she loved it )...

Well anyway, about 2 Chistmas's ago, I bought one on the Internet and wrapped it. Her face was a gem on xmas morning. Funny she never guessed Anyway, I fitted it before New year (I had to add a power outlet) and hey presto, for the last 2 years she's had her Bidet. Heck this thing even has a charcoal air filter, a hot air blower, a remote (that sites on the wall) and allows you to control water temp, pressure, heated seat and more. Those Japanese are way too smart...

Anyone else got a weirder present they brought for their spouse ??

I recently bought the missus a Jagermeister machine for her birthday.

I had previously built her the full-scale pub (not joking) as a wedding present.

Sounds like you and my hubbie shared the same Christmas list . He did follow up the next year with flights home to UK so all was forgiven but not forgotten

My first Christmas in the US my boss, (a mate and another recent ex-pat) invited me to join his family for Christmas Day.

When I turned up he was standing in the driveway waiting for me and seemed to be hiding behind me as we walked into their house. Turned out an hour earlier he had given his wife a ButtMaster for Christmas.

They're still married (but haven't had any more children).

Maybe I shouldn't ask but what's a ButtMaster?

Some instrument of torture mascarading as an exercise machine for the aftermentioned part of the body. There are also ThighMasters I'm told.

Does the use of ThighMasters improve the taste of the chickens at KFC and Chik-Fil-A I wonder?

Bought the wife a chair last Christmas. She still hasn't plugged it in yet.


I mentioned that joke in a thread a few weeks back so I apologise for the repeat. Still always makes me chuckle though.

The tractor mower she got one year is her favorite..
Jewellery most years which goes in a box never to be seen again ..
A .38 revolver and a .40 Automatic went down well one year.
Multiple yard equipment always wants and gets..
Enough Wedgwood china to start our own business
Trips to Europe....

Time to start cutting back I think ..

Reminds me of the advert from Oreck... "give the love of your life what she really wants for valentines day"... hint guys unless she asks for household goods like that... they are a big no no on the xmas list.
