Lovely user answer to a question posted on Amazon about the "Twin Draft Guard Extreme Door Guard":

How about them windows?
asked by r.a. on January 1, 2014

Them windows, so distant, so hard to know. I remember once, way back, talking to them windows as they sat on the steps at the end of the day, smoking a cigarette and looking at nothing in particular. "Hey," I said, cautious but loud enough for them to here. "You look lonely." ...

The same person also left this product review on the same item:

If Hades had been guarded by Cerberus with the same vigor and vigilance with which the Extreme Door Guard guards my door, then Heracles would have been devoured like so much Purina puppy chow.

I'm not convinced it's an authentic/unpaid review, but it gave me a smile.

At the ObGyn office today, I glanced across at a display of brochures. Mostly pregnancy-related stuff, female incontinence, IUDs, how to deal with twins, prenatal something or other... then an odd one caught my attention.

The brochure's cover read "This is my baby / right now", and had a photo of a woman pushing a swing... but with a strange thing in the swing. It looked sort of like a fancy camera. Definitely not a baby. Eh? Why is there a camera in the swing? Is she taking videos with a swinging camera? Where's the baby? I didn't get it. The brochure said "Skyla" on it, and I made a mental note to look it up later.

So I did, and Skyla is a type of IUD. The top of the brochure says, "Up to 3 years of continuous birth control", but I didn't see that part before. The image might have made more sense had I read that part.

Nothing else I've read in quite a while has had me laughing as much as this has.
