Humbug?

I read this funny in the Reader's Digest (Jan 2009 p.35) and I laughed until I nearly wet my pants.

For the holidays one year, rather than send gifts, my friend decide to enclose check in her greeting cards. Inside each card she wrote, "Buy your own presents" and then sent them off.

A few months later, she discovered the checks she'd "mailed" under a pile of books.

hahahahahahaha
