You Be the Judge

Here is the infamous "back massager" another teacher gave my mom as a holiday gift and the ensuing discussion that took place over birthday cake:
Husband: Are you sure someone gave you back massager?
Mom: Yeah, she even used it on me!
Granny: Oooh, look at that! It looks like a penis and testicles!
Bubbe: It's people who need to take Viagra.

So - back massager or phallic art? You decide.

12:40 PM update:
The "back massager" works by grasping the flat shaft and rolling the studded testicles on yourself.

    Well they do say that 'art' is what the individual sees in a work :-)

    How the hell does that thing work?

    Happy New Year

    I say phallic art, craftily disguised as a back massager.

    Where can I get one of these for MY mom? I can hear the conversations already (similar to your family's)!

    That's so phallic, Freud is rolling over in his grave. It's even got the head shaped & lined off. What good does that do as a "back" massager?

    I think it's a back massager only because I have one, too! :)

    I showed this picture to The Boyfriend and he went through stages of speechless shocked and laughing hysterically on the floor.

    It IS a back massager and works quite well. The teacher grasped the handle in a firm grip and rolled the wheels over my back and shoulder blades. Very relaxing.

    Let's put it this way- it's the 21st century's answer to what we all need and want, a "multi-purpose tool". Finally you get to massage your back and send shivers down your spine!

    If there is anything I learned from Sex and the City... its that it is NEVER a back massager.
