Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think it's a real lipstick dispenser. Which begs the question. (If I used that phrase right.)

If Apple and Chanel teamed up to make a compact that has my face powder, lipstick, and an iPod, I would camp out overnight to buy it. I'm not kidding.
