It's Not Like In "Ghost," But Better

"I love you," the Demi Moore character said to the Patrick Swayze character in the film Ghost, which always makes me bawl my eyes out whenever I watch it, which it is why I should not do so while I am at the gym, even if it is on the TV right in front of whatever machine I am using.

"Ditto," the Patrick Swayze character would respond.

Ghost is the first thing that came to mind when I stepped into a bathroom in a diner that I stopped at with my parents last week on my way to O'Hare. I realize this sounds odd, but there was a giant pink tampon machine attached to the wall that dispensed "Ditto Tampons." If this is not enough to make you fall on the ground laughing, I will add that the pink machine also noted that there are inspirational messages printed in their boxes. For a mere 75 cents, not only can a menstruating woman protect her underwear from blood stains and receive inspirational messages, but help support breast cancer research. Yes, the machine claimed that a portion of their proceeds support this worthy cause.

Sadly, the photos I took on my dad's cell phone camera did not make it to my inbox when I tried to email them to myself. It was fun, however, standing in the women's room taking pictures of a ridiculous pink tampon machine. Ditto!

  1. You should have purchased one. The 75 cents would be well spent just to read the message. Now I'm mad that I didn't think of it then.

  2. I love that your mom reads your blog. Last night I found my stuffed animal in my bed after I had been out of town all week. I asked my husband if he became a plushy. I wouldn't have known about that unless I read your ever educational blog.
    But anyway... I was at a bar and they had cock rings in the women's bathroom. I took the picture on my cell phone but it too didn't come out.
    Darn cell phones....

  3. It sounds like I need to go somewhere and take pictures of the "implements" in the bathroom too, though it sounds like my cell phone picture wouldn't turn out either.
