You ever see something priced so cheap that you had to buy it? A crapophone for $7.00. I couldn't help myself. It runs (as well as a crapophone ever runs) but needs a horn elbow. Going to patch it together and use it to show people what not to buy! Please forgive me.

I think we need to institute something like double secret probation for such offenses!
