One morning, seventy-five-year-old Marvin arrives at work and is quickly reminded by his secretary, “Don’t forget—it’s your wife’s birthday today!”
At lunchtime, he rushes to the mall in search of the perfect gift. But as he browses store after store, he realizes—after all these years, his wife already has everything she could ever need. Just as he’s about to give up, he spots a luxurious lingerie boutique and has an idea. Now this is something she’s never had before!
Determined to make his wife feel youthful and beautiful, Marvin confidently walks in and tells the sales clerk, “Give me the finest, sheerest, most elegant negligee you have—and wrap it up fancy.”
With his special gift in hand, Marvin hurries home. Finding his wife in the kitchen, he hands her the package with a proud smile. “Go upstairs, unwrap this, and put it on. I’ll wait down here,” he says with excitement.
Touched by his thoughtfulness, his wife heads to the bedroom. But when she opens the box, she’s taken aback—the negligee is so sheer, it’s practically invisible! She smirks, thinking, Why not take this surprise up a notch?
Leaving the delicate garment on the bed, she confidently steps out, completely bare, and calls down, “Marvin, come to the hallway and take a look!”
Marvin steps out, looks up at his wife standing at the top of the stairs, and his eyes widen. He pauses, then slowly shakes his head and mutters, “All that money… and they didn’t even iron it.”
