   She looks like she’s trying to eat her harmonica, not work out her facial muscles.

   Oh horrors. This looks more like some gynecological torture device. In the mouth. “Mouth” and “gynecological” do not belong in the same state together, much less the same sentence or the same photo.

   Holy cow! If I could just get something like that to plug up my husbands pie hole, I’d be in heaven. Don’t think he’ll go for it.

   I think I spotted this in a sports magazine, advertising it as a marital aid to be used during football games. Simply place in mouth of spouse and your good to go with peace and quiet.

    Unfortunately, not all women have children and spouses to yell at – so I guess this will be a lifesaver for them!!
    It could also be used effectively as a birth control method – no man is going near a woman with that in her mouth!

    It’s a dietary aid…..cheaper than getting your mouth wired and you can’t cheat by sipping a chocolate shake through a straw.

    It scares me to think a fly might go exploring in her mouth.

    This is clearly the last step in convincing her husband that she needs five figures worth of cosmetic surgery. “Or, I could just sleep in this . . . ” she’ll say.

    Strange, I suddenly have a craving for a nice chianti and some f-f-f-f-fava beans.

    I skipped the infomercial and just started coveting Bossy’s ice cream.

    That’s not against the commandments is it? I don’t recall “thou shalt not covet thy blogging neighbor’s chocolate ice cream with raspberries and white chocolate” being in the top 10.

    Do you think if I put one of those bear-trap contraptions in my mouth, DH would think twice about asking for a blowjob?

    If that worked… then QVC needs to change their marketing angle. Former Facial Exerciser NOW repackaged as MOST EXCELLENT BLOWJOB PREVENTER.

    Yeah, I’ll take one of those!

    Actually, that thing looks like it might help out those ladies who are having problems performing oral sex on guys. Ok, that was tacky. BUT STILL! It was my first thought, and I don’t believe in holding back. I just might invest in one of those myself, for perfecting certain aspects of adult pleasures. *evil grin*
