I gave one of "those" presents.... I was so very proud of myself 'cause I had found the PERFECT gift for my husband who has everything! At the time he worked for NCR (national cash register) --high level programmer. Anyway, he was fascinated with the old cash registers. I went into a candy making supply store and they had an antique cash register. In fact it was the cash register they were using for the store. And I bought it! Well, this wasn't one of the cute little trim cash registers, it was a humongous thing made of some kind of heavy metal..... It took TWO BIG grown men to load it into my mini-van and when I got it home it took our family friend HUGE man and a dolly to move it into our living room where it sat for two years-- cause it was too heavy to move.....
LOL I was so proud of myself for having found the cash register -- the look on Ron's face when he took the paper away was priceless. I had paid a WHOLE bunch of $$ for it and he was like....oh my.....
Years later, I think it wound up in the landfill.....
