Chia Head - Bill Clinton

Who has time for this stuff?  Another gift.  Probably Christmas.  One of my relatives feeling guilty unable to find the perfect gift picked this up on the clearance table.  "Oh, he'll love this" they said as they scampered out of the store...........  This Bill Clinton look alike caught their eye and won me over.  It's all we can do here at the museum to preserve the integrity of the unopened container. Clearly it will loose significant value if we make the magic happen.

Here are some interesting tidbits on on the box:
