    This strikes me as the kind of gift that somebody's aunt picks up for them as a high school graduation gift because they know that in college the kid will have to move things around on computers and they heard something about thumb drives and the aunt will see this while speed-walking at the mall and won't realize that the fact that it is for sale at Spencer's should be a big clue and say to her friend (let's call her friend Arlene) she'll say Arlene isn't that just the cutest! and so she'll buy it and give it to the high school kid in front of her whole family and the kid'll just stand there mortified and her mom won't get it either and will say oh sweetie you just love elephants and her father will be partially cracking a grin but mostly communicating with his eyes saying don't you dare react just say thank you and the HS graduate will say thank you auntie and thank Arlene for helping to pick it out and ultimately it will serve as a funny story/just naughty enough ice-breaker with that cute boy down the hall during the first week of college and lead to her first sexual experience and she'll think it meant something but he won't think so and a few months later she'll realize he hasn't called while she's home for the holidays and it will lead to her first broken heart of college.

    Yeah, but can you imagine that guy who went to the college to get away from home and has to make all new friends. He doesn't like his dorm assignment and puts in for a transfer. That night he wanders down a couple of floors to borrow some notes from a classmate and sees the girl and the elephant dongle and strikes up a conversation. One thing leads to another badda-bing, yadda yadda yadda his request is granted and he's transferred to another dorm and lost her number when someone stole his phone.

    @The-Ohio-Player: And god is it going to be awkward when they are in the same upper-level Gov class junior year when each of them turns to their friends and says can you believe oh my god, but when the last chance dance comes around senior year fireworks again! and they both end up moving to NYC at the same time and somebody needs a roommate and somebody else has a roommate leave and so they end up shacking up for a few weeks and next thing you know they're married but really she never said she wanted kids and so things start to fall apart all over again and at her aunt's funeral the next fall all she can think about is that stupid elephant dongle usb thumb drive.

    Maybe I'm just being too practical, but it doesn't seem like the USB will actually be able to plug into a USB port as the elephant's upper body is in the way.


    Maybe it's squishy and just scrunches out of the way?
