I've given people amazing gifts and people know me for that, but I've never received a wild gift in my life. People always buy me what they can find in a store.

It was so disturbing, as if they went to a 7-11 and asked to buy out their inventory. It became a running joke for years. My stepdad’s family got us a huge shipping box of various TastyKakes.

A student had bought me some things when she visited her native El Salvador. Enclosed in the gift box was a pair of yellow rayon underpants, high waisted and really funny looking, with a tag inside hecho en El Salvador. It's the thought that counts.
