It has not risen to the level of a pet peeve, but I am curious about where all of our funnoodles go. For those who don't know what a funnoodle is, the picture below is part of our group playing with the funnoodles last summer.
Funnoodles are a great toy. They can be used to float in so many ways that it can become a game trying to figure all of them out. Some use them as snorkel bouyancy, others just float in the pool. Our group of young men believe that they were meant to be used for sword fights and to blow water through. Our girls think they were meant to hold them up while the guys bring them drinks in the pool....(in the plastic tervis cups of course!).
We believe that if our group enjoys funnoodles so much, our guests must like them as well. Anyway, they disappear at a shocking rate. On our trip in July we brought down 4 additional funnoodles, there were already 3 there. By the end of the trip we only had 4 left. They were disappearing before our eyes!
As funnoodles are part of our diabolical plan to keep guests returning to VT, we must now stock them. On our last trip down, we went to St John hardware to see if any were available. They had 3 in stock and we grabbed them and went back to VT. Doing the math I realized we needed another way to replenish our stock of the addictive water toy.
When we returned home I went online and ordered a case of them. For some reason we could not get a rational quote to ship them to VT. Now we have 12 funnoodles in Pennsylvania and need them in the VI. Breaking out a large suitcase I attempted to put as many in as possible. Pretty sure I heard "you are such a goof" in then background, but I managed to get get 8 of them in the suitcase before they started to fight back. Apparently my funnoodles have heard about the black hole of funnoodledom and want no part of it.
Now I just have to hope that the TSA does not open the suitcase. Picture this.....suitcase rolls through X-ray machine. Hey, it looks like this guy has a bunch of boa constrictors in there. Opens the case....KABLAM!!! Just like a snake in a can, exploding funnoodles run for safety. Somehow I don't think the kind agent will take the time to get them all back. Fortunately there are no Jumbies in Pennsylvania.....we hope.
If you fly through the Newark airport next Saturday and see a tall man in handcuffs surrounded by annoyed TSA agents and funnoodles just wave.
