My FIL once gave me as a gift (early in Susan and my relationship), a hand-painted ceramic figure of an owl with a graduation cap and gown. It obviously had been around a while and had a chip in it. He kept a straight face, so I felt it prudent to act pleased with my gift.
I did get even with him a few years later (I am lucky to have a cool FIL).
