What’s up with the GUN PLUNGER , I guess you could just stick that on the ceiling next to your front door to have it handy when trouble arrives? Like some Girl Scout ringing the wrong door?

Or, as the saying goes, shooting the shit..... I think it's actually just a regular toilet plunger with a handle designed to look like a gun. It's hard to read, but the label on the shelf says "Redneck plunger". I guess it's for those who want to feel macho while unclogging the toilet.
ReplyDeleteI stole a few of these.

Ricko: Please purloin plentifully!
ReplyDeleteAnon: I figured it must be something like that. Probably somebody using a dictionary without really knowing English. I've seen a lot of those amusing mistranslations -- and was also once guilty of one when writing a letter in Japanese.
Mary K: Glad you liked the landscapes. I had no clue what the electronic thing is, but I figured it must be from some time ago. That sounds like a fun thing for a kid to have. I suppose modern kids have to try to hack the roomba.
Photo round-ups are always fun and interesting! I stole a few.
