I Need a Good Cry and a Stiff Drink

The wife and I were out yesterday doing some early Christmas shopping. They've got some pretty cool stuff at Toys R Us. This poll is not about those cool things.

Which “toy” pictured below best illustrates to your child the meaning of toil, servitude, and the soul-crushing emptiness of it all?


Home Depot Leaf Blower

Just Like Home McDonald's Drive Thru with Play Food
Although it might seem like an easy choice at first glance, I encourage you to give it some thought.  While the second selection might make you run the gamut of emotions from "disgust and anger" to "drunken disgust and anger" the first kind of smacks of the promise of a biblical, "by the sweat of thy brow" life-long treadmill of minor chores... 

It's a coin-toss for me.  Leave a comment if you have an opinion on the matter.

BTW, you can click on the captions above and read some of the five-star reviews of the products for some bonus despair. :)
