THE GURU OF GIGGLING GADGETS & GIZMOS IS AT YOUR SERVICE!
This light-hearted lens is devoted to great gadgets that give you the giggles or groovy gizmos that gather gargantuan guffaws (sponsored by today's letter, "g").The plethora of potty paraphernalia all around us is ample proof that God has a healthy sense of humor and that maybe more than a few of us live on a funny farm.
And, here at the Church of Chortle and Tabernacle of Terrific Treats, we're open 24 hours a day to offer you delightful deals on curious commodities, misbegotten merchandise, not to mention good-for-nothing goods.
Your host for this snicker-filled sojourn is none other than the "Guru of Gimmicks, Gadgets & Gizmos, Priest of Patently Preposterous Products and Worshipful Master of Mysterious Miscellany", (who bears a striking resemblance to the godforsaken, glaring, gimlet-eyed, glad-hander in the accompanying illustration).
By the way, if the following potpourri of peculiar products doesn't renew your faith in funnybones, you should seriously consider a career change by becoming a cockammie consumer evangelist!
