Apart from the Mad magazine, Harriet Carter catalogue is the most funny book I get in the mail. If you don’t know Harriet Carter, they are a mail-order shop with supposedly nifty household items. For some of the items are hilarious and some are down right stupid. Here are some gems from the latest catalogue.
Yep, there is nothing inhumane about blasting ear-piercing sounds into the dog’s ears!
If you need a darn focus light to see the hairs, who’s going to notice if you leave them there!
Dandy. But what the hell are those things that are coming out of the dog?
It’s a product to listen to sounds from long distances, even whispers. Look at the guy’s expression. Makes you wonder what kind of conversation he’s eavesdropping on.
f you hate your neighbor, place this so that he gets a glimpse of it in the middle of the night. Works even better if he has a pre-existing heart condition.
For $7.85, why can’t one buy a real shirt!?
WTF
OMG!!! these are definitely stupid/weird/ hilarious!!
thanks for sharing
good collection. the hearing aid was really funny.
while lookin at the last pic, I said to myself “what the FFFF”. And thats exactly what u wrote below the pic.
harshavardhan reddy: I was tempted to say “great minds think alike” but I think everybody would have the same reaction to that
the last one freaked me out. but the shirt thingy is good for a hot day like today, then again not at $7.85

all of them are hilarious..espeically the last one!
HILARIOUS!!!

The ear piece and the guy’s expression.. that was the best! Lol
hehe…ur welcome!!

WTF , indeed…
Oh..I didn’t notice the “Sure-grip handle”..I thought it was his actual finger!!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want the dickie for $7.95! I think that’s a steal.
seriously WTF!!!
Ridiculous
Perhaps the finger-like trimmer thing makes you feel more comfortable/socially acceptable- I mean as long as you aren’t sticking your own finger up your nose; a prosthetic looking finger is probably far more polite.
I’ve been going through your blog all evening, and I’ve got to say- it’s absolutely hilarious.
Perhaps the finger-like-trimmer thing is meant to be in accordance with proper behavior/etiquette. You no longer have to be uncouth and stick your own finger up your nose; no, instead you’ve got a prostheticy-looking finger doing the job.
These products make NO sense whatsoever.
I’ve been going through your blog all evening, and I’ve got to give it to you- this is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read.
magnificent post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing. I am sure, you have a huge readers’ base already!
