Medical Care, Now In Convenient Child Form

One more picture from my NYC trip.  I saw this while I was having lunch one day (click on the picture to enbiggen).  Pay attention to the left-most sign.  I assume that is supposed to read "CPR KIT AVAILABLE" but I guess they could have a Doogie-Howser-like child prodigy in the back somewhere.

Take Your Gift Giving To The Max(i)

You never know where a What The Foto will present itself (click the picture to enbiggen).  A lot of companies these days are taking a "value-added" approach to their products.  You know, not only does it do the intended purpose but also something completely unrelated.  That being said, COME ON!  Who is ever going to use this as a gift box?  And if one ever did, how mortified would the recipient be if they found out where that lovely box came from.

Pig Toes!!!

Here is another sight that I was presented whilst in NYC.  Please direct your attention to the sign in the middle.  I while I'm sure it isn't unheard of to use pig toes in cooking, a quick Goggle search doesn't return very much in the way of recipes.  This leads me to wonder why the proprietor of this butcher shop would use them as a way to lure potential customers into the store. Of course, my entire analysis of this picture is based on the assumption that they are selling actual toes from pigs and not, as the Urban Dictionary suggests, "more petite, dainty, and, hence, attractive version of the camel toe."

Scrap Gold And A Haircut, Two Bits

I saw these sign recently when I was in New York.  Feel free to click the picture to enbiggen but that really is a barber shop that wants to buy your gold.  I've seen a lot of business combinations that don't make sense but this one ranks up near the top of the list. I wonder how that transaction would go: "Hey, Mike!  Just take a little off the top and here is my old wedding ring.  Keep the change."

Rolled On The Thighs Of Beautiful Cuban Women

It's a two-fer from Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.

This is a gift that was given by Mrs. Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. (click the picture to enbiggen).  The product claims to be "Fine Handrolled Handkerchiefs", as if that is the most logical presentation for something used to remove mucus.  At least the product is named correctly; I assume it is pronounced "creamy-eww".

Who Says Car Repair Has To Be Expensive?

Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. captured this image and sent it my way.

So, here is a VW Beetle Convertible whose top apparently had an issue.  The resourceful owner decided to take on this daunting repair task his/herself.  Let's analyse the finished project, shall we?  First, I do have to give them credit for actually installing a window for rear viewing.  However, the "top" is held on with bungee cords and appears to be rather loose.  I imagine this results in significant flapping at highway speed.  I also doubt it is more securely fastened in the front, so there is an ongoing threat of it just flying off one day.  If that happens, the only hope for any car behind them is that the viewing portal lands perfectly so they can watch the Bug drive off with the wind blowing in their hair.
