    The only reason the toddler even found this item was that she had mimicked what she overheard her Daddy doing earlier, googling for some "cheap hoes".

    "Toddler inadvertently buys mail-order husband online."


    And that, grandchildren, is how our family came to America.

    My neighbor owns a few cranes and backhoes for his business, and he surfs the web for new cranes/vehicles. I can picture his little 4 year old daughter buying something, b/c she likes cranes and trucks.

    There is a business in Germany that lets you use diggers, graders all kinds of big machines. Wives/gf's typically give a gift of x many hours of earthmoving to their partner. I'm in the US but I would love to have some fun at that place....

    @morbo: I don't know what part of America you live in, but if you go down to your local Sunbelt you can rent all the diggers, graders, and big machines your heart desires. [www.sunbeltrentals.com]

    @Drew420: I think he's referring not just to the ability to rent it, but a park to use it in - I've seen this on the 'net. It's like a big dirt playground with a bunch of construction machines. It's actually a cool idea.
