The Photo Mike's Friends Made

Mike from Houston, TX is known for his sense of humor. His friends are too. "My buddies know I follow politics closely. They wanted to get me something funny for my 50th." he says. "They said they'd been planning it for weeks. Wouldn't tell me what it was."

For Mike's birthday, his friends wanted something memorable. They found Made To Delight's celebrity photo feature and had an idea.

"They knew it would make me laugh," Mike says.

“It's a great conversation starter. Everyone asks if it's real. I just smile.”

They used a photo of Mike and placed him next to a political figure. The result looked convincing enough to be funny.

"They framed it and wrapped it up. I had no idea what was coming."

Mike opened the gift at his party. When he saw what was inside, he started laughing. "Everyone at the party laughed when I opened it. Now it sits on my desk. People always do a double-take."

The photo is now framed in Mike's home office. Visitors always ask about it.

"I tell them my friends made it," Mike says. "It always gets a laugh. That's the whole point."
