The Christmas Gloves

One of the funny ones each year:

It was late on Christmas Eve and a teenager wanted to buy a
last-minute gift for his new girlfriend. Since they had not been
dating long he decided to buy her a pair of gloves. The gift
would strike the right note: personal, but not too personal.

Accompanied by his girlfriend's younger sister, he went to the
local clothing store and bought a pair of expensive leather
gloves. The sister browsed around the store and purchased a few
pairs of lace panties for herself.

During the wrapping, however, the rushed clerk mixed up the
items and gift-wrapped the panties. The guy hastily wrote out a
card, had the clerk tape it to the box and asked the sister to
put it under the family Christmas tree.

His girlfriend opened the box the next morning to find the
panties and the following note:

"I chose these because I noticed you never wear any. I was going
to get the long ones with buttons, but your sister showed me her
short ones and they were very easy to take off. These look
fairly delicate, but the lady I bought them from modelled a pair
she had been wearing for three weeks and they were barely
soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked great. Wish
I was there to see you try them on the first time, as no doubt
others will come in contact with them in the next few days. Your
sister said you've had a few other pairs over the years but
tended to take them off and forget them in the mall or at the
movies, so I'll remind you to stick these in your purse when we
go out. Oh yeah, the lady said you should blow in them before
putting them away, as they will naturally be a bit damp. I hope
you wear them for me Friday night.

All My Love,

P.S. The lady and your sister both said the latest style is to
wear them folded down with a little fur showing.

Tony, when I was about 15, back in the late 60s, I found a photocopy of this same joke that someone had given to my dad. Amazing how little it has changed in 40 years, though there are a few changes!

One part I remember quite well is when he asks that she allow him to put them on her. :D

Hi Rod...I did not know it went back that far...I noticed a few changes in this version as well, as compared to the first time I heard it read on a local radio show (about 15 years ago). It is funny that I see it almost every year, and I still laugh.

Always keeping a little fur showing,

Tony
