I pulled a cracker yesterday ( not a bloke but an actual cracker !!! ) . It had a tape measure in it ....who the heck wants those at Christmas 
Ladies would like one which indicates 3 inches less around waist or bum.
Gentlemen would like one which indicates 3 inches extra.
I was stood by a Doctor asking for a tape measure once, to measure a patients leg (something to do with DVT indicators). No one near had one to hand so I fished out one from my hand bag that I had picked up from IKEa. They seemed pleased with it.
