Have the Winner

In a misguided burst of creativity, I installed a nightlight into a conch shell I found on the beach. My wife took an instant dislike to it and at the next yard sale, it was the first thing she put out.

I felt vindicated when a woman kept coming back to check it out and finally bought it.

"That'll look great in your home," I said.

"Oh," she replied. "It's not for me. My bridge club is having a charity sale and we were asked to bring the most hideous thing we could find. What I have here is the winner!"
