So True.  This one comes by way of Dave Berry.
-- Gifts for Men --

Men are amused by almost any idiot thing -- that is why
professionalice hockey is so popular -- so buying gifts
for them is easy.  But you should never buy them clothes.
Men believe they already have all the clothes they will
ever need, and new ones make them nervous.  For example,
your average man has 84 ties, but he wears, at most, only
three of them.  He has learned, through humiliating trial
and error,that if he wears any of the other 81 ties, his
wife will probably laugh at him ("You're not going to wear
THAT tie with that suit, are you?"). So he has narrowed it
down to three safe ties, and has gone several years without
being laughed at.  If you give him a new tie, he will
pretend to like it, but deep inside he will hate you.
