That Perfect Gift…


…for the person that has everything: the Pope in your pocket!

So I finally found the time to check my e-mail today and I found that Carol Wright Gifts is having a sale. Clues? Well the email I received was littered with words like, “blowout, last chance, and incredible values” in a really large font and technicolor. And I’ll be a monkey’s uncle! They sure as heck did.

The fifty half piece is on sale from 9.95 to 5.95! It’s officially legal tender. Which means, you can use it to buy other stuff! Stuff that may or may not have the Pope’s face on it! Or you could use it for lotto scratch offs and watch the Stop n Shop man look at your coin in admiration ’cause it’s got the Pope on it.

I must warn you, if you do order something from Carol Wright, be prepared to receive catalogs from them like their old folks catalog. I don’t remember what it is called only that it said “From Carol Wright” at the top but it was full of products like, “tray to fit over your walker”, and “lightest wheelchair ever”, and my favorite, “prepunched tennis balls for your walker” because those are just so hard to do yourself and your ingrateful grandson won’t puncture them for you. (My uncle who is 78 and riddled with arthritis did his. Sure it took a month but he did it. Scout’s honour.)

But guys, I’m 24, why are you sending me this? I only pee in my pants when I read MAD.

Also they had pictures of women massaging their necks with vibrators which made me feel REALLY WEIRD.

So get to shopping! And shipping is free.

Note from Celebitchy: I first published this funny post from Viv on Friday. I then pulled it as I was I worried about offending Catholics. (I was raised one and maybe I’m too sensitive about it.) No offense is meant by including a dearly departed pope coin on the same page as vibrators, just like no offense is meant by the catalog that carries these two items together.
