Thanks again Scott!

They end up tapping the person next to them and say something like this, “Hey! Hey! Hey! Check this out!  This is so cool!  Look! Look!”  and it goes on like that untill everyone has seen THE Naked Lady Pen.

THE Naked Lady Pen is FREE for the 1st week and then will go to 99 cents.

Get THE Naked Lady Pen while it’s free.

First you ask the all knowing Obobble Head a question then shake your device and he spits out a verbal answer.  When he is done sharing his wisdome with you he gives you the chance to vote in a national approval rating poll.  Take a look at the Obobble Head Approval Rating Map

We invited a few select ladies down to the office for a test drive. Everyone was excited to get their “smooch on” and to have an after work cocktail. Todd was up first and spun the bottle to point to Jill, who had no complaints. The girls were into it like shopping on Rodeo Drive. We played a few rounds and laughed like we were back in high school.

It was mad fun and it definatly broke the ice for a few of the people. Have fun and enjoy responsibly ;)
