It's The Fingers At The Top I Find Funniest

I'm sorry for being in absentia lately, I was traveling two weeks ago and ill last week.  Excuses, excuses.

Today's submission comes from our newest field correspondent Ring-Leader Lemur.  He captured this picture on the way down to the last float trip.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


Why not slip in to Uranus?  You'll find some nice fudge. Maybe you want to get a Uranus tattoo.  No matter how you get into Uranus, I'm sure you'll nice it a cozy place that you'll never want to leave.

I saw this at a major pharmacy chain recently. Click the picture to enbiggen.


 It is a container (presumably) used for mixing drinks to take with you.  Seems nice.  It's capacity is 28 ounces.  That is the key piece of information here.  Why?  Let's zoom in a bit.


Yes, the shelf label helpfully does the math to provide the per ounce cost of capacity.  Which is handy information to know.  If you want a 36 ounce container, that'll be $12.85.  Want a gallon? It'll cost $45.70.
