Size does matter


A co-worker offered me a winestopper that was given as a gift to her. Her otherwise cool husband is not so modern when it comes to other men giving her gifts, let alone ones that look like this:

Nothing going on, she just used to work with a very non-pc (and fun) crowd. Anyway, I of course showed it to a number of also non-pc women who, I think, found it just as funny as I did.

I bring it home and try to insert it into the wine bottle open at the time and IT DID NOT FIT. It was TOO THICK. I found this very funny so I emailed said women (including the gifter).

As of now the only one who responded said "Use as decoration maybe that is what it is intended for". Now I don't know if she was being literal or not (which has it's own comic implications).

I can't decide which is funnier - that it was too thick for the opening or that it is a decoration.

Update - More from the same person - "I think it is wine decoration and it's totally hysterically cute! Put it in the middle of a cheese plate at least it will make good conversation". I laughed so hard, I felt I was going to cough up a lung.

Further update - it is too small for the latest wine bottle.

My sister's birthday IS coming up
