Phrogg your thread gave me a great idea for the next gag gift, either iron man suspenders or an iron man belt. I was wondering what I was going to get him this year and your timing was impecable. If you have kids, don't ever tell them that story because they will remember it and some day you may repeat it wearing your underroos.

DocV always wear a belt, you never can tell what your kids are going to buy for you.

My sister and I moved a few thousand miles away from our parents several years ago. Our mother mentioned to us once that our Dad hangs on to every gift and uses everyone of that because he missed his 2 daughters. So we saw an opportunity here so one year we gave our dad a pink flowered shirt as a gag gift. He would only wear blue, black, brown, green and gray so we were sure he wouldn't wear this shirt. Well he wore it and he wore it until it fell apart. So every year we would buy him something awful to wear as a gag to see if he'd wear it. My sister has since moved back to be closer to them. About a year ago I bought him some Iron Man and Avengers briefs thinking nah he won't wear those. Over the weekend my folks had a garage sale. My dad was working on the house when my mom called him over to get something heavy off the garage wall for someone. With his arms over his head and a heavy object in his hands, his shorts hit the floor in front of 15-20 strangers doing some heavy looking on. Laughter errupted when everyone realized he was standing there in his iron man briefs. I think this year, I'm going to buy him a belt.
