What is the ball that is found in some cigar ashtrays used for? Like in the image below.
Attachment 3627
I have been searching the net for some time and cannot seem to come up with an answer, aside from showing me ball shaped ashtrays, and taking me to sites that allow me to broker ball ashtrays in bulk from china. Neither of which I am interested in.
To pick up the metal bit out of the wood bit?
(I have no idea. My ashtray says 'Yeungling' on it, but I can't find any beer...)
As craig said, it's a handle used to remove the metal ashtray from the wooden base so you can empty the ashes.
If you see an ashtray with a large, cork ball in the middle that's about 1" in diameter, can you guess what that's for?

Yes. :smiley37:
It's to knock a pipe against to empty the dottle.
Yes I know also Bill
buttplug?
ETA:wait. buttplug, with built in ass shield.:smiley14:
I know...
Makes sense (the metal ball in the ashtray).
I would assume that the cork ball int he middle of the ash tray would serve the same purpose???
Otherwise no clue.
Unless it IS a buttplug / ass shield.Quote:

I am thinking about new poetry that has the phrase, "...wood pecker..." -- it's a synonym, right?
I assumed this was incorrect, no offence intended, but cork as a butt plug could be a dangerous proposition, since cork likes to tear rather easily. A cork butt-plug is probably a ticket to the hospital.Quote:

It was just a guess! Geesh.Quote:

I'm pretty sure it's not suitable and that is why they put that ass shield around it.Quote:

The whole purpose of the cork ball is to create the ass shield. Sleep fearlessly, my friend. :smiley2:Quote:

My assertions about cork butt-plugs is not from experience with cork butt-plugs, but from other usages of cork, such as the cork on a fine bottle of whisky.
Do you fools even realize what this means? Shaun Connery was successful! He finally created the Anal Bum Cover!Quote:

Did you learn about such things in prison? or from your pen-pal from prison? It's a way to sleep tight and not let your cell mate bite?Quote:

I think it has real potential. Just no cork. It's got to be made of something washable, unbreakable, light weight with no sharp edges. Get to engineering BW it's your idea!Quote:
