Free doll sized 50+ jersey

Twice I've received a tiny doll size jersey when I order the 50+ stuff. They are about six inches tall
Do I really need two? No I do not. One in plenty.

Post the best story here on this thread by Sunday Aug 18, 2013 on why I should send it to you and it's yours. Free. I'll even pay postage. I'll have my wife, and daughter if she's around, weigh in for the verdict.

Void where prohibited by good taste. Decisions of the judges are final. Blah blah blah. Disclaimer, etc.
And if you win, no complaining that it's too small.

Here's a photo of said jersey. Doll, bike and garage door are not part of the offer.

That is cool, I don't need or want it, but it is a cool little thing

I think so too. There must be a grandchild somewhere who'd enjoy this, or someone else who needs it for a grand prank.

This is going to be fun. (Don't need or want, but will eagerly read the "stories'.) Thanks for hosting this.

If I wanted that, the story might start something like this:

Once upon a time, an old cyclist came upon what looked like a plastic head in the road.



Convinced that it was part of a magic doll, he decided he would take it to the Mountain of the Giant Cyclist, who could help find it's body, and bring it to life.



But soon after starting his voyage, he was attacked by a bandit who took the head.



and so on.

Curtis, I think you should just give it to Al right now.

It's too bad I threw away the little suction cup mini-hangers that Champ Sys gave out at the host cities of the ToC, else I'd give 'em to you and instead of gracing a doll of some sort you could stick it on a window (I think the original intent was to mount them on cars because that's where I usually see them)
