Most Depressing Wedding Registry Ever


Julie and I were invited to the wedding of one of her former co-workers two months ago. We didn't go, but we decided to send a gift. Then we went to the wedding registry on Target.com, and it made us consider sticking our fingers in electrical sockets.

Some of the highlights:

OXO 7-pc. Clip Set - Assorted Colors

Scotch-Brite Medium-Duty Scrub Sponges 10-pk.

Kidde Garage/Workshop Fire Extinguisher- Red

O-Cel-O Expressions Fuzzy Scrubber

American Red Cross Emergency Preparedness 106-pc. First Aid Kit

It would be one thing if these people needed to scrimp and save to afford cleaning supplies, but they have a six-figure household income.

I wanted to get the 10 pack of sponges, but Julie couldn't pull the trigger.

I'm sure this pair of hopeless romantics is now deep in the throes of wedded bliss.

So what did you decide on? This is when you pull a wild card and get them the biggest dildo available or a flesh light. (Look it up) Since neither of these hopeless newlyweds will be getting any sex.

We got them the memory stick. It could be used as a tiny dildo, I suppose.

Believe me, these are not the type of people who would create an ironic registry. They're Jesus freak computer nerds who take themselves very seriously. The bride came to a (relatively tame) party we threw once and she fled in horror without saying good bye after about eight minutes. Julie was shocked they invited us to the wedding. If you were getting married and you had this registry, I would realize it was ironic immediately.

Cool - just as long as you realize me leaving your next party 8 minutes deep is purely for jokes. now grab those brillo pads
