Random: Leather Coasters - Go Ringless!
Posted September 14, 2006 12:33 PM
Why are we still not accustomed to putting a coaster down on that beautiful mahogany table every time we set our drink down? It’s baffling to me. Somebody finally has the decency to invite you over to their house and you think to wipe your feet before entering, you take the time to hang your coat on the coat rack, then you take your sweaty, dripping Corona and set it down on the host’s four thousand dollar antique table without using a coaster!
I can see Mrs. Hosts eyes widen in horror as the water begins to puddle around the beverage. Come on, caveman! Get your act together and put down a coaster. What’s that you say? You’ve had issues with coasters in the past? Ahh, those stone coasters that actually crack when you gracelessly toss your forty-ounce Colt 45 on them. Well, a surefire way to sneak into the heart of Mr. And Mrs. Host would be to consider gifting them these Italian bridle leather set of four coasters. As far as gifts go, they have that great ability to jump into the first position of any other coaster the gift getter may already possess. Let’s face it…no one is going to have a better-looking set of coasters than this. Also, coasters are one of those rare and great gifts that people always like to get. Especially if one has taken the time to add an initial to make the gift personalized. If you really want to intellectualize the personalization initial, consider using the first initial of Mrs. Host’s maiden name. Why you ask? Well, clearly, if they ever get divorced, she’ll be taking the coasters with her so why not be a pro-active anticipator. If they end up splitting up, you’ll look like a prophet and can call yourself Jesus. Look forward to hearing your comments on this one, Hay-Zeus.
