Can Anyone afford to dispense their water from this?

Well out of my budget!

Somehow I don't think it would make my water taste $950 better. :lol:

Interesting. Of course, even more interesting that the vendor can't explain anything more about the origin, yet it's seemingly worth $950.

Right.

Ah-so! I have deciphered the justification for the high price. From the description:

"Chinese writhing on bottom."

You can't find that just anywhere! :wink:

This device seems to be working wonders for me:

I'm willing to sell mine for a cool $950. I'll even sign the bottom :)

I bet it's hard for him to breathe when it's full of water - maybe that's why he's writhing? :lol:
