A 9 inch tall, cheery-faced automata of Joe Stalin, sat at an upright piano. The battery-operated piano plays a selection of ragtime tunes. A delightful gift for Mother’s Day.
Also available in the series – Fretless Bass Adolf.
Coming soon – Clavinet Pol Pot, with wobbly head action.

I dreamed this.

       Personally, i think I'll wait for Mandolin Mussolini, Banjo Brezhnev, Tuba Tito and Sing-along-a Chiang Kai Chek

       I'd rather see a diminutive robot that plays a full-size piano by jumping from key/s to key/s.

       Ha! Top idea. Idi Amin on kazoo would be an excellent addition to the series. All proceeds to Amnesty?

       Wonderful. (+)   

       They recommend taking off the nicotine patch when sleeping, btw.   

       I dreamed the other night that Saddam had hired a specially trained team of landscape artists to style the hedges and shrubbery around such notable Baghdad landmarks as the Ministry of Information building into remarkable works of art, depicting the faces of Bush and Cheney, among others. A bush that looked like Bush, so to speak.

       Thanks for all the product line suggestions and, yes, DrBob, all proceeds to Amnesty.
No, I haven't been eating cheese or wearing nicotine patches in bed. I always take my nictoine eye-patch off when going to sleep, though if fags and Camenbert produce more interesting dreams, I'm going to go French at bedtime.
Oh and my mother was particularly pleased by my gift to her of the complete Clan Campbell Jump-up Jungle Massive.
