A bowling ball with 'Homer' written on it

I'm not sure if you've seen this particular episode of the Simpsons, but it's the one where it's Marge's birthday. Homer has decided to buy her a bowling ball, knowing that she won't want it, and will give it back to him. The man in the shop says they have a special offer on, in which he can have his name engraved on the ball for free, so he agrees. Marge is understandably upset to receive, for her birthday, a bowling ball with 'Homer' written on it, as he is not even pretending it is for her. Bear with me, this is a story about Sam, I'm just coming to it. So, a couple of years' ago, on my birthday, I receive a card, which Sam has got one of her designers at work to make. On it, a picture of a yellow bowling ball, with the word 'Homer' written on it. Inside, a single ticket to Muse, not just my favourite band but hers too, at the new Wembley Stadium. Probably the best present ever. But, the funniest part - she wouldn't give me both tickets in case I decided to take Gerry instead, and she couldn't have that.
