It was empty? That is weird. If it was full I would have gladly taken care of it for you... that stuff is like tone in a can.
I assume it was gifted to me in empty condition because she was through using it on her dear pipe bag, and knew that my rather 'eclectic' tastes would appreciate the many opportunities for humorous employment of the item, not to mention our ancestral attraction to the plaid. :D I did open it and give it good whiff... seems to resemble Neatsfoot Oil in odor. Sorry to be unable to aid you in your quest for tone. :)

Well, this one from my sister-in-law took me aback just a bit:

This is a picture from a catalog.
Ours is in a box on the kitchen counter.
It's the thought that counts :lol:.

For you cooking aficionados, how about this egg separator as a weird gift?

Gift or not, that's definately weird. :o

Now, maybe it's just me, but I thought the really weird part was how they were catching the egg whites in a paper plate!

For the love of humanity, use a small mixing bowl! :wink:

Oh ish!!! That thing takes my appetite away :lol: ! I guess I'd rather see a paper plate there than Kleenex though, if you come right down to it. Ick! A small mixing bowl! I couldn't use those egg whites---I wouldn't want them in my food! I thought they were saving the yolks.

That's "Boogerman"! We have one, and have given several as gifts.

We actually (really, really) have some very obnoxious neighbors named Booger (really). I've been wanting to give them one anonymously, but my wife won't allow it. :-? :sniffle: :-?

Speaking of things named Booger, my mother named a cat Booger when she was little. My grandparents still have it. It must be 1000 years old, but it just won't die. It lives on top of their house now, and only comes down to eat.

True story.
