  5. OK, this is not as good as the suppository one I deleted, but:

Just hold it up and peer through, and all of those annoying bits of reality will melt away, leaving a warm glow. NAWC: it's swell."

    The suppository caption was better, but going back for something non-obvious was worth the effort.
