Hey, work boy. Do you feel a little tight? And what's with those gray
sacks under your eyes? Even your suit looks like it's developing worry
lines. You ought to take the wght off your feet - and I don't mean in
your posture-pedic office recliner. Relax, fella. You only live once -
even in business.


Baby

Ahh, the carefree days of childhood. Wouldn't it be great if we could all
return to he crib now and again? Not in a creepy Japanese business man in
'those clubs' kind of way. Relaxation needn't mean the unraveling of your
basic self respecMilk bottle

Many grown-ups are using milk bottles to drink water when they are
thirsty (of course they do it in private, so this is a secret and they
won't let you know it), but why don't you give it a try? Actually, this
is a bit creepy. Well, you know where to get 'em noweirdo.

Price: 26 yuan for a plastic one; 47 yuan for glass
Available: Carrefour Supermarket, Zhongguancun Plaza, Haidian

Adult toy

Toys are only for children? Hey, man, you are so OUT! 'Adult' needn't
mean 'sleazy backst'. We're just talking little fripperies to keep your
brain ticking over. What did you think I meant.

Price: 50-70 yuan
Available: Sherry's Home, First Floor, Building 45, Huaqingjiayuan,

Scary movies

OK, so you worried all day about the big account. But how to get it off
your mind at night? Why not worry instead about a zombie coming to eat
your face? You doubt me? You think I worry about copy deadlines knowing
the Leprechaun could be waiting for me every night?
