Random Wordplay for Wednesday 12/29/10

Ergonomically Correct Rubber Bands.

Used in a sentence: "I've mentioned it before, but due to change at my workplace, I am currently an employee who works completely from home (now going on two months) -- and, what I miss, besides the fine people with whom I used to come into regular contact, is the access to the ergonomically correct rubber bands."

I don't know why that concept makes me giggle (apparently, new stretchier rubber bands help people avoid carpal tunnel syndrome). Of course I think that it's a case of marketers latching on to a buzz word in order to increase sales (and the price point) -- much as organic and green have been (questionably) attached to so many products in the last few years. Really -- was there that much demand from rubber band injuries (that weren't intentionally inflicted slingshot style) for a healthier alternative?
