probably all of us are dumbstruck from time to time by a particularly obvious invention. something we could easily have dreamed up and crafted on our own, catapulting us and our families seamlessly into a lifestyle of the rich and famous type situation.
my dad and stepmom picked up this gem for me at a xmas party they went to. one of those where you play the game with the gifts? anyway, they were thinking of me when they bargained to bring home the wine monkey.
ladies and gentlemen, in case you can’t tell from the box, the wine monkey consists of a sock, with two buttons affixed to create the impression of a sock monkey.
even in my under-industrialized cottage, i could whip these up in two seconds. and what do these babies sell for you might ask?
now why the HECK didn’t i think of that???
