The story of a gift Laura35: So I had a friend and his girlfriend from NY visit me in TX for a couple of days. It was the guy's birthday and I had gotten him this big framed print of a Victorian woman (he likes those), but he couldn't take it on the plane cause he had too much luggage so I said I'd just send it by mail.
It jut happened that when they left, his girlfriend forgot at my house a gray silk slip, which I stuffed into the box where I put the frame and shipped them to NY.
Well, my friend (the guy) gets a note in the mail to pick up a package and since the post office is on his way to work, he picks it up and goes to work with it thinking he might as well show his co-workers (English teachers) the painting of the Victorian woman, unaware of what else was in the box..
He's in his office now, with 6-7 friends around him, telling them excitedly that he got this gift from a friend, a really pretty painting. And they tease him "ah, you're lying, some girl must have sent you her underwear in the mail". And he's angry they can insinuate such a thing and opens the package..... And the slip falls right to the floor.
I just wish I had been there to see his face.
