Party Supplies
What to bring to a birthday party?
So, a friend of mine is having a birthday coming up and his dear, sweet, darling girl-friend is putting together a party. Sadly, she’s an overworked grad student who is too tired to remember all the details, so, when I was being nice, polite and friendly and asked if there was anything I could do or bring, she asked me for suggestions.
I wisely deflected that with “Sadly, you have *much* more experience planning parties than I do! Besides, with my history, you never know what that kind of question is going to produce.”
Why was that wise? Because the first three things that came to mind were pickles, a baseball bat, and clean underwear to change into for the trip to the emergency room.
Advice from your Uncle Jim:
"The spirit , the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur."
