Sow in Heat Urine

A spray bottle of Sow in Heat Urine! This goes for $13.19 online, only three dollars more than the cost of Carl’s paperback on Amazon.Â Now, I can’t possibly be the first person to say that Carl Elliott’s White Coat, Black Hat isn’t worth a warm bottle of hog piss, but I may just be the first to offer market-based evidence.Â And really, which would you rather have?

Get a hunting rifle, spray some of this on your clothes, and rutting boars will come at you like left-wing hippies to a Carl Elliott lecture. You’ll eat all winter long on that.Â On the other hand,Â spend that money on White Coat, Black Hat, and you’ll just be left with that same old empty feeling in the pit of your stomach.

$13.19 from CodeBlueScents.com.Â Get you some.

Grab that sausage and make the pants sing!

Remote-controlled, yodeling lederhosen!Â Just squeeze that fat, orange sausage, and a pair of disembodied pants will dance a jig and sing a merry Alpine tune.

A challenge:Â Take one of these to your next bioethics conference, along with a copy of White Coat, Black Hat, and see which is a bigger hit.Â I think we both know the answer.

How to Break into Wrestling

Before you click on that link to Amazon tomorrow, think about the other books you can get for that money.Â “Judo” Gene LeBell walks you through “all the classic holds like the full nelson and the Boston crab . . .Â illegal moves like elbow grinds and fishhooks, aerial maneuvers like flipping off the top rope and much, much more!”Â If you have an older brother, this is the book for you.

If you choose to buy White Coat, Black Hat instead, then someday find yourself unable to get out of somebody’s sleeper hold, well, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
