I got my Lodge officers a custom made present. ___________________  "the world doesn't end til yer dead, 'til then there's more beatin's in store, stand it like a man, and give some back" Al Swearengen | ||

I usually ask the giver if I can open it then and there, unless I'm busy with something and then I'd say, "Thanks. I'll open it when I get a chance." No real hard-and-fast rule on what I do.

I think a gift like that is usually opened when given. The giver most likely expects you to open it, and will undoubtedly be gratified when you are happily surprised and offer your genuine and enthusiastic thanks. If it is a bottle of hooch, offer to share a toast! The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
