I bought a cat statue about 8" high with a verdigris finish. Lola the Siamese was most displeased. Hissed, puffed up and yowled. Very funny. She did get used to it.

No, no, no! At no point is a bike mentioned in the bible! Everyone knows, Jesus drove a Honda Accord, even though he didn't talk much about it... John 12,49.

When they got married, Aunt Doe insisted Uncle Buck take her surname; insisting that John Buck and Jane Buck sounded rather undignified.

This is gorgeous. I'd want it if I had anywhere to put it. Wonder if this was some kind of discarded theater prop?

They're valid for use in pelvic floor issues. But no way should they be sold used. Ew!

A couple of years ago I gave a physio patient that I was treating for PPI (Post-partum incontinence) a set of these for use at home. When she finished the exercise course she asked if she should return them. I politely declined and told her they were hers now.

They are used in the treatment of things like vaginal prolapse and post-partum incontinence when they are caused by weakness in the pelvic floor muscles.

Do these work like the old pingpong ball technique? Load one in the chamber and see how far you can shoot it?

Errr no. They are used for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. They are used to treat things like post-partum incontinence and vaginal prolapses which are usually caused by a loss of tone or damage in the pelvic floor muscles, usually after childbirth but also from having a sedentary job that involves a lot of sitting.
