I had comforted myself with brownies and cupcakes during the stressful first year of marriage. He’d been critical and insensitive for the last twelve months, but that was all behind us now.
For our anniversary dinner, I’d sausaged myself into a slimming, black dress and taken extra care with my make-up!
He looked deeply into my eyes over the fancy dinner I’d prepared, handed me an envelope and said, “Although the traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper…”
What fun! In excitement, I ripped it open!
My squeal of joy turned into a shout of rage as a gift-certificate for a year’s membership to Weight Watchers fell into my lap.

Hahaha... bad move on any anniversary!
haha!!! Oh no...he didn't! ...Hm...but then again...it was on track for the "traditonal gift" of paper :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
Ha, that would be a suprise--an evelope that I hope he ducked after handing it over since a strong right hook would likely follow.
And I assume that some Ex-Lax Brownies make the perfect "thank you" gift for such an anniversary gift.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You crack me up:) HUGS!
That insensitive turd!I hope she gave him a gift certificate for a full body wax with a salt rub follow-up! :D~Ames
LOL! Too funny! That big dummy should have realized that what women really want is a good vacuum cleaner or cookware! Some guys can be so insensitive!
LOL...oh boy, bet he was in the shits. Ha ha ha. Great story!
Oh no he didn't! That *bleep*'n *bleep*! Pass the brownies, please. This story's highly upsetting.
Love ya, Jenny.

Loved this one!
Revenge is a dish best served cold...what evil acts will come next?
What a jerk. She hopefully turned around and gave him a paper from the divorce court.
What a jerk ... i don't think he will be around for a 2nd anniversary ...
Sounds like this guy needs a paper gift too.
His WALKING papers, that is.
;)
LOL ... very good! :o)
I'm with Dazee and Sue, my first thought was Divorce Court:@)
Dump the Bum!...lol...I read it first and thought Steve...NO.....but then saw the Saturday Centus...Phew....
As insensitive as it sounds, for some of us, the gift could be welcomed. I'd love to go, but can't justify the cost right now.
At least he remembered the date....
That is hilarious - but only to the onlooker . . . ;-)
What a sad sad anniversary.
May 2

"Today, Justice"
Yuck what a gift!
Oh no he didn't!!!!!
Now what did she give him? I hope it was some thong underwear. Whenever Rod asks why I don't wear any sexy nightwear any more, I remind him that I can always buy him a sexy thong to sleep in. That shuts him up in a hurry!!!
OH. OH.
Heehehehehe!!! That Mr. Jenny was one brave fella! :o)
I got a bird~dog one year for my birthday. It just happen to be the same year I gave Farm Boy a huntin' gun for his! :o)
God bless your day sweetie! :o)
I hope she bought him a package of Extenz for their next anniversary!
Oops! if I were her I think there might not be a second anniversary present to worry about.... ha ha ! Quite a funtastic way to go with your prompt! Jenny!
NO HE DID NOT!!!!! TELL ME HE DID NOT!!!!!
LOL You're second commentor took the words right away from my fingers. Oh no he didn't! How long before he hit the floor?
Yeesh, what a clod! (By the way, if weight gain is a concern, a pie in the face is a great way to enjoy pie without consuming so much of it as to gain weight. :)
Oh Ms. Jenny! You are awesome! You truly caught me by surprise with this one! Loved it!
LOL, this is the best! Stop in & read Wise Words
Oh my goodness! Did that REALLY happen Jenny? Pass the brownies please...
HILARIOUS!
Excellent Jenny !
I was expecting divorce papers instead of a membership to Weight Watchers. Some guys just don't get romancing at all !!!
Jenny, Some men just need killing. This is a great argument for gun control!
Namaste..........cj
Oh, burn! I bet you he probably didn't get the happy anniversary end that he was hoping for :D
