Today is the real Black Friday, even though retailers have been touting it all fall. And even though I already have my shopping done, I’m still perusing catalogs. But it’s not for more gift ideas. It’s for laughs.

I love sweatshirts with pithy sayings, and there’s none pithier than what is found in “Catalog Favorites.” So when you return from fighting the masses at Target and TJ Maxx, sit down and enjoy a chuckle.  I’ve culled them for you.

“Never laugh at your wife’s choices.  You are one of them.” “I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.” “I’d grow my own food if I could only find bacon seeds.” “Nurses – We can’t fix stupid but we can sedate it.”

And, finally, “Exercise?  I thought you said extra fries.”

I probably would never spend money to wear one of these sweatshirts, but I do enjoy a good smile.
