[ARC5] OT: This Amazon product listing is a real hoot

[Richard Knoppow]

    Oh, dear...  The Work Surface Tray will be familiar to those of us 
who are ancient enough to remember drive-in restaurants.  They had two 
or three kinds of trays including the kind that hooked over the steering 
wheel for the driver. Other trays fastened to the windows, either 
outside or inside.  Some drive-ins had hops on roller skates.  Not easy 
to carry a tray full of burgers and Cokes that way.
