Either get rid of the figures, or add a plastic flamingo and do it right.

#59 Moving Day in a College Town
I like when college students leave their used furniture outside for us townies to pick through. That’s how we ended up with about half of our furniture. However, sometimes they leave crap that *no* self-respecting townie would ever take. For example, these matching his & hers toilet brushes have been on the sidewalk since the semester ended at our local expensive private school.
I can understand when the co-eds don’t want to haul away their couches, and leave them for us lesser denizens. However, did the alumnus think someone would really want the brushes used for cleaning their trace fecal matter? Clearly these are not in high demand, since even the local wild animals haven’t carted them off.
In sum — keep leaving us your stuff, but please throw out your crap. And the the stuff that cleans your crap.

#57 Messing with My Man
What the hell? Did Obama agree to let you market your painting business with his face? And, is “Hitler/Obama” saying he’s too left-wing or too right-wing? Finally, is it really necessary to depict Dear Leader using the dorkiest of crafts?
Okay… well… I admit I did the cross stitch one myself. At least it’s not on plastic canvas.

#55 The Downside of Water Features
I stuffed myself at lunch and then had to run back to the office past all the tortuous water fountains.
Public water features are beautiful and all, but not when there aren’t also public toilets.

#54 Generic Crayons
In general I like to buy the cheap stuff. However, there’s a few exceptions. I like cushy toilet paper, high thread-count sheets, and crayons that actually work.
Our local coffee shop needs better art supplies; my son’s greasy grilled-cheese-sandwich-fingers left more color than the “crayons.” However, I think that reflects more on our hygiene than on their thrift.
