You can be Impressed

Marylou was in Washington DC last week for work and as a token of her visit, obtained a President Barack Obama commemorative for me at the airport. 

A President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America commemorative combination nail clippers and bottle opener, in deluxe chrome, with a full colour cloisonné seal on the handle attesting to the the fact that it is a President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America pair of nail clippers and bottle opener. 

Not only that, if you aren’t already impressed beyond redemption, but it also has a photo of President Obama in the centre, his historic likeness in front of a stylized American flag.  Plus, if that weren’t enough, it also has a small length of chain, presumably so that I can fasten the chain though a belt loop on my pants and declare to the world that I, David Smith, personally, own a President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America combination nail clipper and bottle opener in deluxe chrome. 

Not only can I commemorate the Inauguration of the 44th President, as well as stay on top of my grooming requisites, but there is more.  The combination bottle opener and nail clippers includes, at no extra charge, a discreet emery board – nail filing area underneath the full colour cloisonné seal, commemorating President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America.  Are you impressed now? 

Wait.  There is more.  Not only does this commemorative include the full colour cloisonné, but when you are using the nail clippers, the cloisonné is rotated out of sight, to preserve the fine lustre of the portrait of the 44th President of the United States for years, nay, generations to come. 

Some day in the distant future my niece or nephews’ children will be going through the Late Uncle David’s possessions and will marvel at the wisdom of the designers of this President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America commemorative nail clipper and bottle opener and wonder at the lack of scratches or marring on the seal, commemorating that historic day back in the mists of 2009 when President Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States of America on January 20th, 2009. 

Yes, they will wonder and be struck with awe at the foresight, not only of the designers, but of the Late Uncle David, for having such a historical and valuable possession that commemorated President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America.

Amongst the detritus that my grand nieces and nephews might also be going through, along with the President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America combination nail clippers and bottle opener, with the discreet nail file and belt loop chain in deluxe chrome, with full colour portrait of President Obama, but they might also find another hidden gem:  A true rarity.

In September 1984, His Holiness Pope John Paul II visited Ottawa.  Uncle David obtained, with no expense spared, a 250 gram, full colour, metal tin of Papal Visit Travel Sweets.  A full colour portrait of His Holiness adorns the easily detachable lid, his hands clasped in prayer, mindful of His Mission, while beckoning you to partake of the Travel Sweets inside. 

Not only a commemorative of His Holiness and His Papal Visit, but it is an Official, Vatican Licensed Commemorative of the Papal Visit.  One can only wonder at the future value of such commemoratives, as His Holiness, John Paul II, is now in the arms of The Lord and no more commemoratives are being produced, let alone Official Vatican Licensed Commemoratives of the 1984 Papal Visit.

Uncle David’s Papal Visit Travel Sweets have been stored in controlled conditions since 1984 and are in impeccable, near-archival condition. 

Surely, this historical find, along with the President Barack Obama 56th Inauguration January 20th, 2009, 44th President of the United States of America combination nail clippers and bottle opener with discreet nail file and belt loop chain, will provide hours of wonder and inspiration to all of you and your families in these difficult times.

Now you can be impressed.  I know my grand nieces and nephews will be.
