This is kind of related to the theme, but one Christmas during my first marriage my wife put a nicely-wrapped present next to the tree that was quite clearly a well-framed picture of some kind. From the dimensions I knew it was not a standard print but rather a triptych in a single frame, and without thinking said "You got me the Garden of Earthly Delights! Cool!" She spent the next month or so doggedly insisting I was wrong and that it was something else entirely, to the point I actually started to doubt myself a little. On Christmas day I opened it and of course it was the Garden of Earthly Delights. She never let me live that down, and it probably contributed in some small way to our later divorce. I still have that print in storage.

Beachcomber posted:What did you have to live down? Knowing art? I ruined the surprise of her special gift by reflexively recognizing the dimensions of a triptych.  We get along fine, now - we always at least touch base on each other's birthdays.
