Me TOO!
Based on what I believe to be a sudden RUSH of demand, I commissioned one from clear tubing with HI VIS yellow rope. I suspect the big money will come from the polished aluminum option.

DON'T WAIT AND BE THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT ONE!



Just imagine the frenzy when somebody finally figures out what they are for!!!!

The rope is to hold the carrot, we can only guess what the stick is for.

It's for measuring the poop level in the holding tank by sticking it directly down the toilet opening! The electronic thingamajigs never work but are there simply to thrill those who are fascinated by LED lights!

personally I think it is a rope with a stick attached.

but then, my wife always did say i was a bit contrary.


other the other hand - the rope is obviously to loop over and the stick is to pull with. please don't ask for any other info.

i try to stay a "big picture" kind of guy and i hate getting bogged down with pesky things like details.

I bet it had a key attached to it at one point. The PO probably stole it from the last gas station he stopped to take a leak at.

I've been waitin'

for the pics, but seems to me that I've got a pair of mittens with this string attached, so maybe it's just like that - a don't - lose -it sort of stick! I mean, when you need a three foot stick but don't have one handy, well that's a sort of problem, isn't it? This solves that problem ... just loop the loop around your wrist!
