Think you've gotten some strange
gifts in the past? No number of hand-
knit sweaters from estranged aunts
can match the weirdness of the wed-
ding gifts these couples received
from their guests.
Monetary oddities
"$10 in scratch tickets."
"$100 worth of quarters."
"A graduation card with $7."
"A hundred $1 bills rolled up in a
rubber band."
"Boxers with money in them."
"Two cents and a nasty note inside
a card."
"A check from my husband's friend,
and in the `for' line, it said `vasecto-
my.'"
"A check that bounced."
Weird ... but useful
"A hurricane evacuation backpack
full of MREs (meals ready to eat),
first-aid kit, ponchos, etc."
"A pink can opener with the word
`love' on it."
"A used walking cane."
"Asparagus."
"24 double rolls of toilet paper."
"Dental floss."
"Octopus-shaped baster."
"A high-heeled shoe cake server."
"A magnifying glass."
Weird ... and useless
"Pirate flip-flops."
"A 3-ft. SpongeBob SquarePants
pirate doll."
