Pouch from Down Under

A leather pouch from Australia made from genuine kangaroo scrotum

Afzal Jehan

So my sister went to Australia&nbspand all she got me was this genuine kangaroo scrotum. I know, I know, but the packaging insists that these sad sacs are simply a by-product of entirely legal kangaroo &lsquoharvests&rsquo that are necessitated by the giant marsupials&rsquo &ldquoprolific breeding habits&rdquo. Frankly, it&rsquos a rather useless pouch though it looks vaguely talismanic. The spiel insists it is very lucky for &ldquoall those in possession of one&rdquo, assuring them of a &ldquolong life, happiness and healthy children&rdquo. Tell that to the &rsquoroos.
