People think we're strange, let's never change

The way we celebrate New Year's ... "

The Christmas Gloves

 A young man went to purchase a present for his sweetheart and after careful consideration, he decided on a pair of gloves.
 
 Accompanied by his sweetheart's sister, he went to a department store and bought a pair of gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself.  
 
During the wrapping, the items got mixed up. The sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, he sealed the package of panties and sent it to her with this note.
 
Dearest Darling, This is a little gift to show my affection for you. 
I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when you go out in the evenings. If it had not been for your younger sister, I would have chosen 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 a pair that she'd been wearing three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had the sales girl try them on and she really looked great. 
 
I wish I could put them on you for the first time. No doubt other men's hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off, blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Be sure to keep them on when you clean them or they might shrink. 
 
I hope you like them and wear them for me Friday night. All my love, P.S. Just think of how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. 
 
Also, the latest style is to wear them folded down -- with the fur showing.

The world is just a backdrop for selfies

"Why do the wrong people travel, travel, travel

When the right people stay back home?

What compels this mass mania, to leave Pennsylvania

And clack around like flocks of geese, 

Demanding dry martinis on the isles of Greece?"

 

You know those clogged airports that haunt TV feeds this holiday travel week?

I think this song is about them.

If Youtube and the New Yorker have no problem with the xxx-rated lyrics to this peculiar viral video, who am I to argue?

Here's to the Northern Boys, Monty Python and seniors losing what's left of their marbles.
