1/27. In high school I was responsible for keeping a friend busy while her parents set everything up at their house for the party. We get back to her house, all lights are off and she walks through the door and announces, "I have to take a huge dump!" Lights turn on. "Surprise!"

2/27. I went out for a romantic dinner with my wife. She was being unusually flirty and turning me on, saying that she couldn't wait to get back home, etc.

So, we arrive back home. She tells me to meet in the basement where we have our entertainment room and TV while she changes into something for the evening.

By this point, I had a big erection. Go down the stairs, start taking off my pants.

Surprise!!!! About 30 friends in the basement for an early surprise birthday party.
