The Waterball and the Lust for Junk
"The Waterball is easy to use, just blow it up , open up the zipper, the rider enters inside, close the zipper and re-inflate the "WATERBALL again to full capacity. And your off water walking !"
See, there's this other, not often discussed, and not necessarily environmentally-correct form of junk collection, called "buying."
You read about the Waterball, Danceball, Bimboball, and you can barely restrain yourself from envisioning a game of giant, floating, human controlled marbles, for example, in which each player is Waterball encased. Played in the ocean, maybe, in, of course, 15 minute intervals so players can unzip and breathe.
It's not your fault, you know. The lust for playworthy junk is a financially debilitating response common to all Junkmasters.
The only solution I can think of is to: 1) acknowledge the futility of resistance, 2) form a Junkmasters Cooperative, 3) collect dues, 4) go ahead and order that giant inflatable banana.
