Following our post celebrating Jack's b-day, reader V de T writes:

We never discussed a suitable gift for the grand old man of French politics. What should it be, mes amis?

A spine?

Huevos?

A case of Jack Daniels, 'cause him working pissed can't be any worse than him running things sober.

The big-hearted gal from Texas is all about spreading the joy and Pave invites you to do likewise by suggesting suitable gifts for Jack in this post's thread. Unlike an American president who cannot accept for himself any gift more than $200, it's bluesky for Jack. Hoyo de Monterrey Piramides LE 2003, The Macallan 1939 vintage single malt scotch, flashy cars, oil vouchers, sacks of cash, anything expensive. Our own suggestions appear below.

EXPENSE IS NO OBJECT
If You Can't Think What To Buy, Cash Is Nice

Play nice. No re-gifting, please.

UPDATE 12.02.05: Please consider a thoughful gift of underpants. Our recommendation, roomy boxers. Jack's a swing-easy guy. Oh, about that Bud, click here.
