Finger Nose Hair Trimmer
I want to buy my boyfriend a nose-hair trimmer, but when I do, I’ll buy one that’s classier then this. I mean, a finger shaped nose-hair trimmer? May I just ask, why? A finger shaped booger-picker, now that would be a money-maker.

Mother Teresa Breath Spray
I just don’t understand—who needs Mother Teresa breath spray? This bad breath killer promises to simultaneously refresh your breath while giving you insight into deep issues. The product description says that this “handy peppermint spray helps purge the demons of halitosis—praise be to fresh breath.” For once, I’m rendered speechless.

Doggles
I once saw a pair of goggles to wear when you cut onions—that makes sense. Goggles for dogs—or shall I say, Doggles—do not make sense.

Lucky Break Wishbone
Wishbones are dumb. I don’t really know anybody who actually uses them in hopes of getting some good luck. If you want to make a wish, go throw a nickel in a fountain or something; don’t go buy a plastic wishbone. That’s cheating and God will get mad.

This article made me cry with laughter. I completely lost it when I read your bit about Richard Simmons. I can't type anything else bc I am still laughing! I plan to read some of your other stuff! Thanks for the belly laugh!

Regarding Nature's Platform, you say, "What they don’t say is that they squat not for their health, but because they don’t have access to a toilet." Obviously you haven't read the health benefits section carefully. It makes perfect sense. I'm afraid you're the victim of cultural insularity, and your colon and pelvic organs will eventually pay the price.

Neha, you never cease to amaze me. This is such a clever article. I truly like the beer belly beverage dispenser. I could see myself using it ... if only I had invented it, I'd be a millionaire!
