Just for Laughs

Because why would you want to take life too seriously? No, seriously...

WHERE IS IT? Look for the funny gifts in the window at 504 Washington.

WHY SHOULD I GO? You’ll leave laughing. Or blushing. No in between. They’re the final word in funny tee-shirt wisdom. Like, “I tried to retire but now I work for my wife” or “National Sarcasm Society — Like we need your support.”

Sometimes people want to make a statement. Socks are the answer. Got a meeting you’re dreading? “This meeting is bullshit” is a must. Wear them under those Brooks Brothers suit pants and quietly smile at the rebel in you. Going to your bookclub? You’ll be a hit in the “F**k off — I’m reading” socks.

Then there are the games: “Drunk, Stoned or Stupid” should liven that party up. For the more cerebral how about “After Dinner Trivia” or “You Laugh – You’re Out.”

Are your oven dishes too hot to handle? Get a set of oven mitts that make a statement. “I’ll feed all you f***kers” or the more conservative “I’ve got a knife” says it all.

For the more poetic consumer, they offer Magnetic Poetry. Put some poetry on that fridge instead of the latest diet. They have something for the poet in all of you. “Unicorn Lover,” “Cannabis Connoisseur,” “Book Club Lover,” and many more — some even naughty or nice.

INSIDER TIP Life is short. Laugh a lot.
