You're not entirely sure what this is -- it was the prize for an absurdist joke-telling competition. All the absurdists would tell you is "this is not a pipe," which isn't very useful. I mean, it's clearly not a food processor, either.

Uh, it's probably not a food processor, either.

References

  • This item refers to Magritte's painting, The Treachery of Images. The painting includes the inscription, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," which is French for, "This is not a pipe".
  • The French pronunciation of "pipe" is the same as the English pronunciation of "peep" (the sound made by juvenile birds), thereby resulting in a pun: "not a peep" is an idiomatic expression meaning "be quiet" -- roughly, "You are not to emit even the smallest sound".
