Happy Presidents Day!!

Who ever wishes anyone a Happy President's Day anyway? And what do you give as a gift? A mattress maybe! Or some furniture...

I spent the day looking for a President's Day gift for my wife. I was immediately in trouble as I didn't really know who her favorite president is. I have to say that Valentine's Day was soooo much easier. I tried to get her a box of president's day chocolate. Were any of the presidents a rabbit?

I went to a flower shop to get her a president's day corsage. All they had for me was a cross with R.I.P. written on it. I thought it might mean "really interesting President" until I remembered my grandfather got one of these on not one of his better days. So I thought to myself, as I often do, "Hey, I'll get her a nice card...” I ran into another dead end there. It seems President's Day is for Presidents, bankers and postal workers only.

Finally I did the next best thing. In my attic in a box marked "memorabilia", I found an old box of blank Christmas cards. On the front was the Madonna and Child, and inside was a blank page on which I wrote, “to my dear wife on President's Day. May your day be filled with Pomp and Circumstance!” To which she replied, "I thought Jesus was a King!"

Well, I know who her favorite king is. I'll be prepared on Three King's Day.
