This Is Odd.....

Hey there guys.....had a long day at the office? Then grab yourself a Japanese lap pillow and take a little snoozer. Or have yourself a good cry.

Targeted at Japanese single men, the "lap pillow", shaped like the bottom half of a kneeling woman, is selling for about 9,429 yen ($90).

"Single men find this soothing," said Mitsuo Takahashi of the manufacturer Trane KK.

He told AFP that the Hizamakura, or lap pillow, fulfilled a primal need.

"From the time people were kids, people have laid their heads on their mothers' laps to get their ears cleaned," he said. "This is made to be quite close to the real thing."

I don't know about you, but I won't buy one until it can clean my ears.

"Single men"?

Yeah, us married men get to fall asleep so often with our heads laying on our ever submissive wives laps.

I know Amy can hardly contain herself every night, waiting for bed time, when I'll lay my head on her lap and drift off to sleep while she... DIGS IN MY EARS!!

Ooo, a thought, we should get one for Casey to help ease the stress and adjust to life away at college. :)

OOOOk. That is a bit odd. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Would it really be worth $90 just to have a fake lap? I can think of pleanty of other things that those single guys can do with $90. Hee hee

OK does this replace the lap dance -- so sorry!!!! However, I was thinking that I could make some money renting out my lap and digging in ears for $90 a pop!
