@Tim you wanted humor.
Ok so a while back a friend had her bathroom renovated and it happened to fall close to her birthday. So she asked if anyone was gifting her that they follow a theme and made a wishlist of bathroom trinkets and stuff like luxury bath salts etc.
Well the list was getting empty real fast so I veered from the rest of the crowd and gifted her a toaster with the note "for the days bath salts are just not enough invigorating enough".
She found it hilarious.
Another one, a male friends girlfriend. She hated me but no idea why. I kept telling her I was not interested in her guy and we were just close friends..she got super jealous and was always accusing me or him about things that never happened. So on Christmas I bought her a cooking book as I heard she was really into cooking and there was a certain recipe book she really wanted. (I'm going to add in here that he kept pet rabbits)
I bought her the book as a surprise gift, wrote an inscription in the cover along the lines of "unfortunately there are no recipes in this book for boiling bunnies...." can't remember the exact but it was long and finished it with a drawing of a rabbit poking its head out of a pot.
Apparently she thought it was nuts but found it funny. It must have done something positive as we actually became friends after that and still are although oddly I lost touch with the guy!
Sorry I can't write this in a funny way, I'm feelings my really ill today so a bit less upbeat.
