A young man called Don wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new
girlfriend. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and she
lived a considerable distance away. He consulted with his sister and
decided after careful consideration, that a pair of good quality gloves
would strike the right note, not too romantic and not too personal. Off
he went with his sister to Harrods ladies dept and they selected a
dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a
pair of knickers for herself at the same time. Harrods had a free gift
wrap offer but the assistant mixed up the two items, the sister got the
gloves and Don got the knickers. Good old Don sent off his gift wrapped
present in a parcel with the following letter:
Dear Kate,
I chose these because I've noticed that you are not wearing any when we
go out in the evenings. If it had not been for my sister I would have
chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears shorter ones (which are
easier to remove). These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I
bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past
three weeks and they were hardly soiled at all.
I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart in them even
though they were a little bit tight on her. She also said that they rub
against her ring which helps keep it clean. In fact she hasn't needed to
wash it since she began wearing them. I wish I was there to put them on
for you the first time, as no doubt many other hands will touch them
before I have a chance to see you again.
When you take them off remember to blow into them a little bit because
they will be naturally a little damp from wearing. Just imagine how many
times my lips will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will
wear them for me on our next date.
All my love
Don.
P.S. My mum tells me that the latest style is to wear them folded down with a little bit of fur showing.
