Where was that one? I couldn't find it.
 
The goosehead has got to be one of the silliest.
 
That "head napkin" was just retarded. I like what the site said, "Our extensive in-the-field testing has shown that the Head Napkin is just as effective as wearing a sign that says; 'Your don't see me, I'm not here'".
 
"Arm Mitten" LOL
