Our family plays Dirty Bingo/Yankee swap for Christmas, after dinner. Basically, it's a card game where you try to win wrapped gag gifts (only the dealer, who does not win anything, knows what's in them, as they provide them). MIL and I do the gifts. I often buy silly, cheap books, and put some money in each one.
A local bookstore was going out of business earlier this year, so I bought a lot of things for Dirty Bingo there, including a magazine called Pot-Bellied Pig Quarterly. I got ahold of a lot of sausage coupons to put in the magazine as a consolation prize (DH's family LOVE pork products!). I was showing DH a picture of a pig from the inside of the magazine when he said, "That looks like you as a kid on the cover." I almost smacked him! I was so angry that he'd be so mean...until I realized that he meant the little girl posing with a pig on the cover (who does look like me as a kid)!
I'm still laughing over this an hour later!
(I also bought a copy of Reptile Quarterly. I'd better grow a thick hide before I show that one to DH!)
