Supposedly 2.298 Pounds of Therapeutic Heat
This is a What The Screenshot, but worth the look anyway. Click the picture to enbiggen. You can also see it for yourself here.
Did you spot it? Take another look. Right there after the price. Yes that is a per ounce cost for a heating pad. As if that wasn't odd enough, the math isn't even right. According to that page the shipping weight is 1.4 pounds, which would make this cost $1.66/ounce. So we have a product that has a ridiculous per unit price which isn't correct. Well done, Amazon.

Layers Of Flavors
So I'm shopping for some snacks the other day when I see this (click on the picture to enbiggen). Focus your attention on the line below "Rosemary & Olive Oil. Now that is one descriptive description. Why did they only mention "natural flavors" twice? I'm sure there are more than two natural flavors in there. It's a little like spelling "banana": everyone knows how to spell it but not everyone knows when to stop.

I've Been Called Unreasonable...
I was shopping the other day and was in the prepaid cell phone area of the store when I spied this. I cannot remember which carrier this display was for but check out that disclaimer. For the life of me I cannot figure out what they are trying to say. In my opinion, "unlimited" means at least 43,200 minutes in your average 30-day month. And who gets to determine what "unreasonable" means because I'm certain that would lead to a differing of opinions.

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".
