Strangest Bible-School Snack EVER II

Because last year's edible rendition of the plagues wasn't bad enough.

This year's Vacation Bible School featured a story about a leper (I'm not sure which leper story, but that doesn't matter). In keeping with VBS tradition, the snacks are an edible craft that represents the story du jour.

On the day they learned about the leper, the kids had cookies with icing for their snack. Each child got two cookies. One cookie just had icing. The other cookie had icing and sprinkles.

Guess what the sprinkles were supposed to represent?

Ick.

Little Brother may never look at sprinkles the same way again.

3-Ply TP: Not for Me

I don't quite fit the demographic, and I can't say that this is a product I'd buy.

Triple-ply toilet paper?

The article linked above says they're marketing this to over-45 women (I'm close, but not there YET) who view their bathroom as a "sanctuary for quality time."

I'm still teaching some people in this house that one doesn't barge in when the bathroom door is closed. My bathroom hasn't hit the level of "sanctuary" yet. And there's the small matter of that Army Guy standing guard over the sink (maybe I'll make a tiny little sign to hang on his rifle: USE SOAP! If I do, I WILL post a picture!)

Can you imagine with 3-ply TP would do to those low-flush toilets? Already they have to be flushed twice (or more), canceling out any "water savings" they claim to have.

I think their target market is not over-45 women, but plumbers who will be laughing all the way to the bank with all the unclogging work that will come their way after this stuff hits the store shelves.

Would YOU buy this book?

I saw this booklet on the magazine rack in the local supermarket, right next to quality publications like the National Enquirer and Weekly World News.

Normally, I'm all for those "Idiot's Guide" books, or the "Dummies" series. I think they have great explanations for technical stuff, and I've bought and used several of them. But this title deserves all the mockery that it is sure to invite:

"Baby Names for Dummies."
