Birthday Present Advice Sought

Today, a friend of mine will be celebrating his 40th birthday. Although he's requested that nobody give him any presents, I'm not going to listen.

But I need YOUR help.

I'm proposing that my friend, now that he's going to be in his 40s, step out of his comfort zone and embrace a new, happenin' wardrobe, something decidely different from his current wardrobe of white tennis shoes and beer-related T-shirts.

So, I ask my readers: Which item(s) should I get him from the International Male catalog -- the Officer's Dress Jacket ($139, below) or the Carribean Silk Shirt and Pant Set with the Pirate Drawstrings ($29 and $39, respectively, at right).

Just send the Officer; keep the jacket.

Where are the sugar nuts?

I can picture him in the the Carribean Silk Shirt and Pant Set with the Pirate Drawstrings. Minus the sugar nuts, of course.

Everyone, thanks for all the pirate-themed clothes.

They not only made my birthday a very, very special day, but I anticipate that my wife will have the best birthday of her life.

Did you know it's bad manners to bring a gift if it says no gifts?
