Not a Homer bowling ball gift nor my story, but here goes my favorite bad gift story. A friend of mine, brutally hungover, remembered on his way to work that they were having a Secret Santa event that morning. He ran into a Safeway or CVS or something like that and bought some sort of cheap dental gift kit with an electric tooth brush, water pick, floss, those pipe cleaner things, tooth paste, mouthwash, etc. He hastily wraps it with plain paper in the printing/stationery room at the office. So they do the raffle or whatever to determine who gets which gift, and his gets matched with a woman who suffered from some sort of severe dental health condition and basically made Shane MacGowan look like Julia Roberts. She opens it and starts and immediately breaks down bawling uncontrollably. I can't remember if they were supposed to know who each gift was from or not, but in any case, everyone knew it was my friend's gift. So the whole office turns on him and one person even says out loud "You loving rear end in a top hat." He desperately tries to defend himself with the argument of "How could I know it would end up with her?! It's Secret Santa!" but no one buys it and before lunch he's a total pariah and never recovers until he quits a few weeks later.
