Only 40 shopping days left

Peter at Half a World Away discovered an amazing product in an airline shopping magazine during one of his recent trips from half of the world to the other: the Potty Putter. And if the name isn't enough to pique your interest or close the sale, here's the text from the ad:
You know those days when you’ve eaten something that hasn’t agreed with you and you can’t be too far away from the bathroom? Well, this is the perfect companion for such occasions: The Toilet Golf.

The Potty Putter is a true innovation in toilet entertainment and the perfect gift for the golf (or toilet) enthusiast in your life!

I think it's the perfect gift for those idiots at professional golf tournaments who love to shout "IT'S IN THE HOLE!"

(Yes, that was potty-humor from me. At least I won't show a picture of the product. You have to go here for that).
