Imparting my wisdom at Kmart

As I was waiting to purchase my holiday bling a middle-aged tall, good looking, bald ,African American man came to the counter. I asked him what he was doing. He said he was returning a watch that his girlfriend didn't like. Busybody me took a look. It was actually a really nice watch.
I smiled at him. Once thing I've learned about men is that when they buy you a gift and you tell them you don't like it they get really hurt. After that you've screwed. Chances are you'll be stuck with gift cards for the rest of your life. Let's face it ladies. Men hate to shop. The fact that he weathered the storm and actually entered the mall is a huge step.
"Don't worry", I said. "The watch is really nice". Then I added, "you tell your girlfriend, gifts are like orgasms sometimes you have to fake them."

That night I prayed; Dear God, help all the wives and girlfriends really like their gifts or have the wisdom to fake it. Love K
