On the "fake official mail" thread, we were talking about how maybe the U.S. post office is only staying afloat because of all the junk mail.
And I said something about our economy staying afloat because of all the junk of all kinds out there.

I ran a few errands this morning. Here's one small example of the junk out there. I just couldn't believe it. (well.....actually, unfortunately, I can).

Hopefully it will be used as a plunger after christmas..........but I doubt it. But if they do, I hope they don't bring it out next christmas to use again....:~)

Are the branches removable? If so you use it as a plunger and then if your plunger is openly visible in the bathroom, when it comes time for the holidays you decorate it with the braches. Come on, admit it, you always wanted a plunger you could give a nice holiday look to.

As the old saying goes....

Everything happens for a reason.
Sometimes that reason is you're stupid and make bad choices.

Although I know someone who will take that idea and make money with them. (LOL) I'll be sure to share it with her.

So true. And if the suction were strong enough, I could also attach it to the ceiling in place of mistletoe.

Oh my. Thanks so much for posting this. Can't believe it. Yet, there is photographic proof.

I was thinking, hang them sideways on the wall. Or they could be useful if someone was doing a remake of that Fred Astaire movie where he dances up the wall and onto the ceiling...

Yah, take the branches out, and use them for Holiday decorations--craft shops charge ridiculous prices for stuff just like it that is made in China or idndia. Then, you can keep that plunger handy(minus branches) for unstopping drains--with that short handle, it will store easily underneath a bathroom vanity. You might even be able to use it as an autobody tool, as a dent puller in just the right situation. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
