#37: It’s the Thought that Counts

This one’s not a Black Friday story, but it’s a pretty funny retail story anyway. Some guys have absolutely no idea how to buy things for the women in their lives. I bet retail workers spend a lot of time pointing men towards jewelry counters and the aisle in the household goods area that holds scented candles.

What reading this story has made me realize, though, is that there’s a reason that we need to have holidays like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. These are obviously the only times in the entire year that men think of getting their wives and mothers presents, so if we didn’t have these holidays, these poor women would never get any gifts.
