Thank you son for the odd thing you sent to Dad for Christmas.
Some holiday gifts just stand out – like this strange sculpture I call “The Hand Out.”
I wonder if anybody out there in the blog-us-fear will know The Hand Out’s real purpose.
I will even provide some helpful Clues:
- It is a manly gift.
- It is certainly not fine art.
- It is not supposed to be in an elegant living room but I can’t resist.
- It should be in a “man cave” maybe.
- It can stand on end and looks like a wave, “hello or goodbye.”
- It will hold about 10 pieces of M & M peanuts.
- It will hold a few small coins as a hint for visitors to leave gratuities.
- It does not come in pairs so it is not meant for prayers.
- It is heavy.
- It is a fairly ugly object that invites derision.
- Uppity people will talk about your decorating sense when they leave.
- It inspires laughter but polite people exercise restraint.
- Impolite, ignorant folks laugh out loud.
- Bill and I laugh each time we pass it by.
In the end, son, The Hand Out is really an inspiration to guffaw.
Because after all, laughter is the best gift of all.
