Just for Laughs… Do You Shop at SkyMall?

Have you ever found yourself on a plane with absolutely nothing amusing to watch, play or read? While other people sit there with their Kindles, their laptops, their iPads, their novels and their DVD players (parents who let their kids listen to Chipmunks movies without headphones deserve their own special place in the back row next to the bathroom), sometimes I find myself with nothing to read but a dogeared copy of SkyMall. You know what? that’s fine by me.
First we have the Face Trainer, which Jane Krakowski’s character invented on Ally McBeal in the late 1990s and called The Face Bra:
One time the stranger wedged in next to me and I got in hysterics over every other item in the catalog, flipping through our copies at the same time and saying “no, wait, wait, look at this one!” to each other. The one that gave us the biggest bout of giggles was the Pet Loo. The thought of what one does after a dog actually uses it (if they ever do) made our complimentary soft drinks coming out of our nostrils:
But on this last trip, I had not bonded with my seatmate and just wound up laughing like a crazy person all by myself when I saw this one. I hadn’t laughed that hard on a plane since the time I rented I Love You Man and the “Tom Sawyer” montage part came on. Anyway, I think the SkyMall people may have stolen this idea from one of those horrible Fockers movies:
Also, what’s wrong with calling this the Litter Quitter? Why do you have to go all Kardashian on us with the “Kwitter?” Am I supposed to share the toilet seat with four paws now?
Do you ever take a SkyMall out of the seat and peruse it? Have you ever bought anything from there? What’s the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen in SkyMall?

OMG, Litter Kwitter! I love the idea and the name! If I’m not mistaken, this or a similar product was pitched on “Shark Tank” last year, which is a show I really enjoy.
Back to SkyMall… I actually purchased a lovely little travel peppermill made by Peugeot as a gift for someone. It was just a nicely made object, without any crazy gimmicks. Anyway, when I was ordering it, I was offered a second one at some steep discount. I didn’t go for it but found it really random. Who needs two travel peppermills?
