Dumb Gift

So, as I’ve been browsing around this site, I’ve noticed that some gifts are really clever and would make great gag gifts. And other gifts... are not, and would not. Today, I think I found a prime example of the second category.

It’s called the Over the Hill “Crying Towel.” And it’s just a towel. Oh, and with a picture of a rocking chair on it. The rocking chair design is a kind of clever idea, I guess. But what kind of gag gift is a towel? The product description basically says old people cry every night. Now, I’m a little confused about this product for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve never met anyone who used a towel to dry their tears. And second, even if I had, what’s that got to do with getting old? That’s just dumb. Nobody cries just because they’re getting old. I have to confess, I just really don’t understand why this is a gag gift on a site of gifts for aging people. It doesn’t make much sense to me. Oh well, maybe I’m missing something. I’ve often found that I’m not young enough to understand things like this - maybe this time I’m not old enough? Do any of you understand this gift?
