Oddly ... odd

I don't exactly know why this product struck me ... it was listed on Amazon, among a raft of "multi-function devices." Somehow, it just looks over the line -- like too much function, jammed into a single machine. Not sure; maybe it doesn't strike anyone else that way, but I thought it was funny. It looks as though it were something that would go terribly haywire in the middle of the night, maybe in a thunderstorm, and start frying up catfish or something, carrying out some function you never knew it had. Or spitting out pictures of other people's children.

Anyway, got a dog here on my office couch, so I better attend to her. She doesn't look as though she needs therapy, but you never know ...
