So I was wandering around on the the internet and found a link to this medical training supplier. After having a peruse I have decided that if I am ever rich (and an american) there are some things - which until today I had not known I needed - that I MUST have. (While I don’t think that there is anything particularly NSFW here - there are quite graphic depiction of various bits as well as quite a creep factor for the more “lifelike” items) Jar of earwax anyone?

Lube to be used with an enema simulator, for training students. IRL you used a water-based gel similar to KY, or sometimes that actual brand. Note the earwax has 5 stars! ---

Dave Barry, in his 1994 book _Dave Barry’s Gift Guide to End All Gift Guides_, suggested several of these, including the medically accurate One Pound of Fat model and the Mr. Dip Mouth, which shows the effect of using smokeless tobacco. The mouth model opens, revealing grotesque sores (not unlike the Gangrene model). He suggests using it to awaken hung over friends. You can put it next to their face and, using the levers, work the mouth as you shout “Good morning Bill! Welcome to Hell!” > **[Dave Barry's Gift Guide To End All Gift Guides: Dave Barry: 9780517799529:...](https://www.amazon.com/Dave-Barrys-Gift-Guide-Guides/dp/0517799529)** > > Dave Barry's Gift Guide To End All Gift Guides \[Dave Barry\] on Amazon.com. \*FREE\* shipping on qualifying offers.

It amuses me more than I can say that upon opening the first link, I was informed that “Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed…” several other disgusting life models and the Special Limited Edition jar of Marmite XO. ---

Sweet creamery butter! Yesterday I clicked links in this thread. I chuckled, and went on about my business. Now, every page I visit that has an ad is showing me the model fetus. Gack! It’s a lot harder to ignore than the latest Chris Bohjalian book (last thing I’d previously browsed at Amazon). ---
