I had an uncle with a great sense of humor. For several years he made gag gifts for everybody at Christmas. My first one was a painter's roller with holes drilled into it. As you can guess, it was a holey roller.

Same here... have to rescue them from the rag pile sometimes. Can't figure out, though, why they often smell like Pledge or Endust.

I have a pullover sweater that for some strange reason makes me feel better when I wear it. It is so mis-shappened and stained that I wouldn't wear it out, but for some reason I get the warm fuzzies when I wear it. Unfortunately can't wear it much in Florida unless I cranked the air conditioner lol. Husband doesn't understand how an old piece of clothing can make you feel better, glad there seem to be a few of us out there

It's getting to that time of year when I can break out my favorite LL Bean red plaid shirt/jacket. I bought it perhaps 40 years ago, it barely fits, is full of holes from wear, but is perfect for fall and early winter when I go out for the paper, mail, etc. Of course, I wouldn't wear it in polite company but I can't part with it for those easier chores I have on my docket..

My wife and your wife have something in common with probably 1000's of other wives. They all have this incessant driving force inside their being that says "I can't stand to see him wear that rag anymore". It matters not that I want to keep it, and wear it to do yard work, or shop work or to go to the hardware store, with mud on it. What needs to happen is the establishment of a wedded policy that says, "one small closet in our home will be set aside for the rag clothing that the husband chooses to keep and hold dear forever where no wives are allowed". So far I have lost the battle but it has only been 59 years and I fully intend to keep trying. I have managed to keep my Army Dress Uniform from the Korean War. I think she likes the 1st Cavalry Patch look.

My wife's husband has a 40 year old pair of leather sandals that he loves. There are holes all over the sides, the tongue is gone on one, and the left side of one is ripped from nearly the heel and 2/3 the way to the toe. The bottoms are as smooth as glass, so they are great inside on our white carpeting. I love my shoes and plan to send them to Timberland when they are 'unusable'.
Hmmm, might make a good photo, huh?

When i first started to read the opening post i almost said how silly, then I remembered my special darts shirt that i wore on match nights and won the great majority of my games until one night i had a bad game and couldn't understand why,
then the wife said she had sowed a hole in the shirt so i had a look and found she had used the wrong colour thread, I retired that shirt soon after.

Iif he is table dancing, and it can be tricky to keep carrying a table around as he goes about his business.

That is the trouble with clothes and shoes. Just when you have them worned in right, the wife wants to throw them out! :lol: :lol:

I don't answer the door wearing it, but it covers my pecs and belly-button, so it's just fine for drinking my coffee and getting p.o.'d by Rix!!! So, does anybody else out there have one of these gems?
I have a pair of very large shorts; a style made popular by the U of M basketball team many years ago. They are florescent yellow, baggy, and no matter how many times they go through the laundry, look like they have been worn for a year without being washed. My wife refuses to wash 'em so I've learned what all those buttons on the washer are for.
I've even been spotted in these babies in public. My wife has received calls suggesting I'm color blind, or about my sanity.
I've had to keep those shorts and a pair of very old/torn tennis shoes under lock and key in the garage. Every spring my wife goes on a scavenger hunt for 'em.
Up date: Just checked and the wife was successful! Didn't get a chance to dress up this spring and summer while recovering from a car crash. Hired out my yard work so there was no reason to dress up. I'm on hold with the FBI as I type!!

Problem is, every time my wife tries to throw away one of my favorite outfits the contents of her closet goes up by at least three garments,

I buy most of my new clothes @ Costco. They have most of the big fashion named mens stuff. Calvin Klein, Polo, Tommy Bahama, Pebble Beach, Speedos etc. They don't have a try on room and thats a good thing as far as I am concerned. I hate trying on clothes of any kind. They don't have all or any of the name brands sometimes, but that just adds to my anticipation level. I must have about 10 pairs of summer shorts, sweat shirts, jeans and t shirts. If the price is right I come home with an outfit often and I'm outta there in 15 minutes. She gives me a frown and says things like, that is disgusting or you don't need that and have you tried it on, but then it gives her ample supply to get rid of as time goes on and I hide my favorites in amongst the masses.

I have a supposed-to-be white t-shirt with a Radioactive symbol on the front. I got it in 1973. Thin enough to see through and peppered with tiny holes, but I can't seem to give it up.

I'm also like that with shoes. I can't give them up. Regardless of the shape they're in they're still great for taking the dog out at night, going to get the mail or paper in the morning or sitting on my mower to do the lawn. An old pair of shoes also seem to last forever.
