Hot Holiday Toys

You parents will recall the fever for Cabbage Patch Kids & Beanie Babies. This year's hot holiday toy is called the "Fingerling" - a five inch toy monkey that grips your finger with its legs and arms - it babbles, blows kisses and blinks its eyes. But wait - that's not all - press the Fingerling's head and it passes gas! - the dream toy of every adolescent boy. Priced at $15. Walmart is stocking up. Was thinking if Santa has a rough trip this year, if you don't hear him land on the roof, you might smell him coming down the chimney. Forget the milk and cookies. For an attempt at propriety, the ads are only displaying the index finger. This announcement courtesy of the Sunday
Business Section of the NY Times. The Old Grey Lady actually used the phrase "a $15. farting monkey." And on Sunday!
