IN THIS BLOG'S OPINION, THE WORK FORCE HAS BEEN ENTIRELY TOO PRODUCTIVE LATELY. SO THAT MEANS...

...It's time for A CAPTION CONTEST!

The photo below is from an ad for a product called the "Head Spa." Feel free to submit captions. At some random point we will select a winner and give that person a valuable prize that judi will discover lying around the office.

(Thanks to Lorrie)

1) A geniune Fiesta Bowl "yard o' beer" (beer not included) once worn by Bob the Bear

2) Two packs of "24" JOLT gum which has not been chewed by anyone

3) A DVD of Barry Manilow's "Music and Passion" PBS special

Mind Control? Schmind Control!!!

[PirateBoy]

Head Spa. Because nothing is better than getting your head squeezed in the morning!

[Braniff77]

"easy to use ... on the morning commute". Yeah, those people laughing on the train all just thought of something really funny that has nothing to do with you.

"...a valuable prize that judi will discover lying around the office". If Judi's lying around the office, how will she find anything?

[chuck]

"To open, just grab the handle and peel back gently. If done correctly brains will retain their shape"

It's a little known fact that "Tobor, the 8th Man" was Rodin's first choice for a model.

[PirateBoy]

(From the user manual)
The fully adjustable Head Spa has four settings:

1. Giant. This is useful for those "large endowed" men, with above-average sized brains. Think Einstein and Galileo.

2. Normal. This works for the majority of men. Think Pirateboy (Although Mrs. PirateBoy insists I use the "giant" setting. Who am I to argue?)

3. Small. Useful for politicians, editors and managers.

4. Micro. Reserved for lawyers.

Before he became well known by playing Remington Steele and James Bond, Future Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan enjoyed a brief career in technical porn, where he acted in a variety of hard-core "hardware" videos. Here, Brosnan demonstrates a device called the 'Auto-Suck', which was both a car cleaner and a adult toy.
