This Product Should Not Exist


There are hundreds of reasons why this product should not exist. The most glaring one: if you see this in the store and you can actually think of somebody who needs it, maybe that person shouldn't be driving anymore.

Contents:
1 yellow crayon
1 6-foot measuring tape
1 pen
1 "Protocol" brand disposable camera (with flash)
1 nylon carrying case

"In the event of an accident, you can entertain yourself while you wait for the police by drawing pictures with the crayon, measuring your biceps, and taking fun pictures of you and your victim which you can later develop at your own expense! Don't forget to get double prints for the victim's family!"

*Afterthought: Maybe this product is designed to help you get into accidents?

For Adam


Came across this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Portland. Unfortunately I didn't have any pennies at the time. (By the way, Oregon doesn't have sales tax. That means if you only have 100 bucks to spend on pogs, you get exactly 10,000 pogs.)

Also, for the observant reader, one of these things is not a pog. Try to guess which one it is.
