I do.

So what's your opinion on the unwrapping?

*awaits answer to this one*

I like the bit where the unwrapper tries to guess what's inside by feeling it first.

Yes, that's always good fun.

Makes the final unwrapping much more satisfying.

Of course the unwrapping is fun in itself, but you do already know what's inside, don't you? At least more or less. I mean, it's like knowing you will get a sweater, but don't know the colour of it. You know what's inside, but not exactly what it looks like.
And could you not think of the bra as not the gift wrapping, but the cover packaging, like in the case of that totally unrelated sweater, the plastic bag they come packed in.

Or am I way off target there?? Does my twisted thinking make any sense at all?

I think slighty more thought goes into the look of a bra, than a carrier bag.

I know, I know.. What I meant was that... Ummm.. I forgot what I meant at the moment.
However, once you do get down to the last layer of clothing you already have a pretty good idea of what is contained under it.
The feeling of "the present" is in deed enjoyable, but could just as well be performed on the outer layer of clothing.

Did that post make more sense than the previous one?

Slightly.

I don't think I'll try to come up with any clearer statement, cause I'm afraid that my brain would explode if I did.
I'm too tired to think today. TGIF!!

It does sound a bit better, but still, it's like finding the tissue paper under the wrapping paper?

It's like when young children get a really big expensive present, but they'd rather play with the cardboard box it was in.
Or something.

I think you hit the head of the nail there, Mina.
It's like removing the fancy wrapping paper, only to find another layer of wrapping paper.

Why would you want to play woth the card board box, EV? If you want to do that, can I have your present? I mean, if you don't want it..

It's all academic really, I never seem to get presents these days.

You and me both, then...

Ah well guys at least I can see the presents when I go to the gym, it's just I might not get to play with them

You three are really getting me down.
Doesn't anyone love you enough to give you presents?

DD, that's cheating.

Hey who said being gay didn't have some advantages.

That sounds reasonable I suppose.
