summary: gay witch hunt talking head: "i got them a toaster. they called off the wedding and gave the toaster back to me. i tried to return the toaster to the store and they said they no longer sold that kind of toaster. so now my house has got two toasters."
When the mail comes that Saturday afternoon, Stanley flips through each piece, a monotone voice ticking off each one. Daughter’s suspiciously hefty credit card bill. Newsletter he never signed up for and doesn’t care about. Reminder for his annual check-up at the dentist. And… oh.
Stanley chuckles to himself. He snickers as he opens the envelope and as he RSVPs. He chortles as his wife wraps up the three-year-old box, as she places the tape strategically and fluffs the pre-tied bow. He laughs right up to the table of wedding gifts, and as he congratulates the happy couple.
Jim and Pam smile, glancing suspiciously at each other from the corners of their eyes, as he says cheerily: “I hope you needed a toaster.”
