Other tastes that go together: "dumb" and "ass"
I was shopping for ideas for a 4th anniversary present and came across this entirely unhelpful one.
If you want to avoid the hassle of shopping for a 5th anniversary present, consider $60 worth of pears for your 4th. Not only is it a stupid gift, it's a cheap one too; I don't know which tack would embarrass me more.
Nothing says, "I Love You" better than a hamper full of pears and cheese. Except, maybe, every other thing you could think of.

I didn't think "ass" was a taste that went together with *anything*...
I actually got a box o'pears once from someone. We made a lot of brandy-braised pear and endive and gorgonzola and pecan salads for a fancy dinner.
They were tasty. But I wouldn't have bought sixty bucks worth of them.
Chap,

Nor, I venture to guess, did they come from your spouse in recognition of your special day.
I don't believe any husband has ever had to explain himself thus. At least, I *hope* not:
"After everything we've been through, especially this last year...I just...I wanted something a little different, a gift that...that really SAID something. Something about our marriage, our union, about all the stuff we've overcome. And with our family growing, I thought...well, with everything else...jewelry and flowers and diamonds and roses is all so played, and I know you're probably sick of it since I get you those things for every other occasion. Every part of me just... this year it all just seemed to add up to pears. Happy anniversary, baby!"

Actually, GL, a box of pears
Actually, GL, a box of pears and cheese is in fact one way that Mrs. Johno could show her love on this, the day of my daughter's wedding. I mean my wedding. I could bake up a nice seeded sourdough (with rosemary for me; without for her) and get a couple niiiice wines, maybe a tobaccoey Zin for starters and a Vouvray for after (I know, white before red, but the V is so sweet I'd rather have it wake up the palate and treat it as the dessert wine it can be, and have it with the last of the pears after all the blue cheese, three-year gouda and figs are gone).
But I'm kind of nutty that way.
J,
J,
I know YOU'RE nutty that way.
Tell you what, sweetie- when the Ministry has it's 4th anniversary, you can count on me for a bucket of pears.
