I came across this product today.



It's a tiny plastic toy propane tank. Yes, that's impressive all by itself, but wait. There's more.

It's a tiny plastic propane tank that is actually a prank tank. It shocks people when they pick it up.

Imagine the pitch in the boardroom when the marketing guys sold this one to management.

"A propane tank? How did you choose this particular idea?"

"But boss, it's not a real propane tank. It's a prank tank. Get it?"

"Yeah... well it's two inches tall, so I kinda knew it wasn't real. Why not a prank frog or something?"

"Everybody does frogs. Who would suspect an innocent propane tank? It's brilliant!"

"Got any other ideas?"

"Well, Davis had an idea. A toy cheese grater that squirts water. I think Davis is losing his edge, frankly."

"Well, you are married to the boss's daughter, so you must have something going for you. Let's run with the propane tank idea!"

"You won't regret this, sir!"

But I see you've been around DU almost as long as myself, but I've never bumped into you before.

Question:

Your username - care to explain?

mine?

well I joined during the build-up to the Iraq war, and I'm Canadian - so sorta self-explanatory.
