Garfield: So what did you get the missus this year?
Mouse: A cheese grater. That's the look SHE gave me!
Garfield: Mouse, cat, man...we're all in the same boat, pal.
Wives often buy their husbands tools and work benches, so I don’t see why we can’t return the favour… No more perfume, dresses and nice holidays I say, from now on it should be dish soap, aprons and trips to the market ;)
JP Steve, to answer your question, yes and no. A stethescope is used in Liz’s profession as a veterinarian so it’s not quite the same as a man giving his wife a vacuum cleaner, implying that she needs to clean the house. One seems more demeaning to me than the other. But I guess everyone’s opinion would be different. But when I think of a household appliance or something used to clean house or do housework it shouldn’t be a gift from a husband to a wife implying the housework is all her work and none of his. It should be bought for the household in which anyone can use it.

Hey, you could have given her a dust mop or tooth brush!

But…Garfield doesn’t HAVE a missus, and John gave Liz something good. Curse you, continuity, you joke ruiner!

No man should give his wife an item that says “Get to work” even a cheese grater!

‘Garfield doesn’t HAVE a missus’, what about Arlene? Haven’t seen her in a while, maybe she’s at the dentist getting that gap in her teeth fixed?

Kamino… Garfield is dating Arlene. Well, she’s his favourite girlfriend anyway.

A new stethoscope doesn’t say “Get to work?”

Garfield loves to eat the birds. He likes to be friend with mice. But, alas, he has to kill the spiders because he despised the spiders. Weird, eh?!

My husband really wanted to buy a vacuum, and I said the only way that it’ll be a gift is if he uses it.

If it’s an electric cheese grater, it would be a good gift.
