I took the day off yesterday and was working on our basement- painting, laying carpet, putting up shelves for storage, etc. I found an old box of Time-Life books I used to collect in the 80's- Mysteries of the Unknown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysteries_of_the_Unknown). Before Discovery Channel and History Channel were invented, you got Time-Life books to cover cool subjects such as UFOs, ghosts, monsters, psychic powers, etc. I used to collect them and have a good 30-40 of these books.
Anyhoo--I hadn't seen them in 20 years and was paging through them. My son came home from school and saw me in the basement, so he came down and asked "What'cha doin' dad?" I showed him my book collection, and he was immediately interested (he loves the same subjects). He dives in with me, and we start paging through the musty tomes.
My son saw a couple of books about ghosts...his favorite subject...and pulled them out immediately. As soon as he pulls the books out, I see a bright gold square at the bottom of the box. I looked closer and it was a freakin' Trojan Magnum XL condom wrapper.
I quickly grabbed the wrapper and shoved it in my pocket before he could tell what it was. This box had been through two moves, and the wrapper probably came from my "pre-snipped" days back in the early 90's. How it got in the box, I don't know, but disaster averted.
Or so I thought. My wife was getting laundry ready last night and FOUND THE WRAPPER IN MY POCKET. She started screaming at me in shock, and I started laughing my ass off---which made her even more furious. I had to pull my son in and verify that he saw something gold in a box of books we were looking at, and that I had put it in my pocket. I could just picture the images in her head of me having the day off and going around banging whores
Mr. Furley then walked in and asked what was going on....
