My girlfriend and I had been dating / living together for about 2 years. That particular year I had been unemployed and she was the only one working. For months and months I did odd jobs such as raking leaves, mowing grass, washing cars, whatever I could find to do. She had no idea I was working these jobs and secretly saving the money I had earned. That whole year we talked about getting engaged but we "knew" we had no money for me to buy a ring. One evening before Christmas we were in the mall purchasing a few last min gifts for her dad and I had her browse the jewelry store and had her look at everything and snaked my way into her telling me the ring she liked. We left that store and she wanted to go into the candle & soap store. She knows I can't go into those store due to allergies. So I told her Id be in the sporting good store. But really I went back and bought her ring. On Christmas at her father's house everyone opened their gifts (I had gotten her a few rotten gifts like socks, hair ties and an iron for her clothes). Well, after every thing was opened we were sitting there just talking and I said to her father, Mr. P, I have a question to ask you. Her father said ok what is it. I said I would love your daughter very much and I would like your permission to have her hand in marriage. He said yes, I would be blessed to have you for a son in law. At that point my Lady was confused and a bit stunned. I then went down on one knee told her I have never felt love the way I feel with you. I love you and want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you. She was in tears she was so surprised, shocked and happy. I know this sounds over-sensitive but seeing her that happy brought tears to my eyes. It is a day I will never forget as long as I live. She is a beautiful, kind, sweet and caring person that I am happy to spend the rest of my life with.

"This didn't actually happen to me, but one day, my dad and uncle had to go to Wal-Mart one day to shop for their wives. Keep in mind that both men are heavy-set, 300lbs+. When they were at the check-out counter, the lady gave them a strange look. They figured she was just having a bad day or something, so they just overlooked it. When they got to the car, they realized why she was looking at them weird. One had just bought a bottle of Astroglide while the other had just bought hemorrhoid crème. The cashier thought they were 'together.'"

"We were in Ft. Lauderdale for spring break, and had decided to hit some bars after being on the beach most of the day. I had not kept up on laundry, so I ended up going out with a short skirt, just with no underwear. I was on my period, and had been using a tampon. We were talking to a group of guys from Boston University, and one of them was hilarious. Finally he said something so outrageous, I found out I laughed too hard. The tampon I was wearing flew right out of me and landed on his foot.He looked down with a look of total horror on his face. All four of us ran until we got back to the hotel, hoping we'd never see them again. The next day at breakfast, we saw them across the room in the restaurant. They were pointing and laughing. One guy came over and said 'Don't be embarrassed...obviously you have a major talent!'"
