I received this email with a great idea. Thought I'd pass it along!

My dear friends,

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, I'm not getting an annual bonus and
Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you
all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree
that it's a splendid idea, and should you wish to do the same, I've
included the instructions below.



How to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads:

You need four maxi pads to make a pair.
Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part.
The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top.
Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part.

Decorate the tops with whatever you desire, silk flowers (this is most
aesthetically appealing), etc.

These slippers are:
* Soft and Hygienic
* Non-slip grip strips on the soles
* Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
* No more bending over to mop up spills
* Disposable and biodegradable
* Environmentally safe
* Three convenient sizes: (1.) Regular, (2.) Light and (3.) Get out the Sand Bags.

I've attached a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself....
Awaiting your response. It's crucial that I get the right size for each one of you.

But I am getting a bonus...

Still, no one's getting anything from me this year.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Making gifts is a great option but slippers made out of Maxi pads? That is sort of gross.

Why not just have your friends over for pizza and wine?
Nicer. Dominos has a deal for three pizzas for 15.
I would rather throw a party then make slippers out of Maxi pads.

LOL!

I am in debt but I am happy. I am alive and had three operations this summer. SO, CELEBRATE.
MAXI PAD SLIPPERS? Why not go to JACKS 99 CENTS stores they might have nicer slippers there for 1.29.
PS I have no job. No bonus. And I am taking my friends for sushi and wine at a restaurant. Granted, I am a generous person and am also giving gifts to my friends.

I tried to take my friends out for sushi one Christmas and when we got to the restaurant, there was a waiter sleeping in the dining room! Another Christmas RUINED!

The colostomy bag earrings I gave out last year were much prettier than these things.

When in doubt, the ever popular Chia Pet.

Do you wear the slippers with socks made out of very large condoms?
