Flowers On Perfume
I'd buy this just for the bottle; who cares what the perfume smells like.
Seriously, this is some genius creative design!
Beautifully done! ;-)

Ship in a Bottle
How do they get that ship in a bottle?
Build the ship inside the bottle or blow the glass and shape it around the ship.
Sort of like the chicken and the egg dilemma.
What came first? I dunno!
Someone get me out of these circular, mind-numbing Catch-22s! ;-)

Election + Covid = Alcohol
This old bottle of wine is looking mighty fine to me about now.
Sometimes, we all need something for the pain!
And this election and the plague has been nothing but painful.
The question is drink it now or hold it for tomorrow night. ;-)

My Blue Thumb
I got a new spray bottle from Home Depot and I put the Fantastic cleaner it in.
Thinking about the new bottle, I accidentally picked it up to water the plants.
I sprayed the cactus and immediately realized what I had done!
Oh sh*t! I just poisoned my cactus. So quickly, I poured water in to try to dilute it.
I thought to myself how the plant would react and I imagined how a person would react if they drank Fantastic.
Sure enough within a couple of days the cactus was reeling.
But I think a person could probably recover if it wasn't too much, so I'm hoping the cactus will too. ;-)

Novel Passover Haggadah
Shaped like a wine bottle!
Sort of sets the stage for the four cups of wine at the Seder.
I found this Haggadah in Israel, and I'm glad I got a few of them.
Wishing everyone a joyous Passover and Easter holiday! ;-)

Soccer Soda On Metro
Watch what happens when people leave their trash on the Metro (Washington, DC).
In this case, it's a bottle and this one guy in jeans can't seem to get rid of it.
It's sort of hilarious.
First, the bottle is dumped by an uncaring passenger, it rolls around for awhile, and ends up sitting in the middle of the train car.
The train stops at the station and the people coming aboard step around and over the water bottle.
This guy in the center is irked by this bottle and just sort of blatantly kicks it at a women in winter boots standing by the doors.
But it eventually rolls back and hits him in the foot.
He's talking away (blah blah) on his cell, yet maneuvers the bottle ever so discretely to roll it backwards to someone else
But it ends up right back at him twice more.
Next stop, he runs off the train (and away from this bottle), but the person behind him kicks it after him and towards the doors.
Then this one lady with the orange bag and red purse gets up from her seat, and gives it a big kick right out the door.
She does this while the other people are boarding...oops watch out for the flying bottle.
Garbage left on the Metro...Goal! Score! ;-)

Not Exactly A Genie
A colleague told me that if he had a genie in a bottle, his first wish would be to have infinite wishes; his second wish would be for all his wishes to come true; and his third wish would be that all the wishes would be free of ambiguity such that the intent would be fully clear--nice!
But this here is no genie...this is an umbrella in a bottle.
Twist the top (handle) and pull it from the bottle (case) and whoola, an umbrella.
Cute design, but when I tried to open the umbrella, it felt functionally, like a piece of garbage (IMHO).
Oh genie, how about an umbrella that actually works and who cares if it's in a bottle or not. ;-)
