Looks like the tissue dispenser in Grandma's bathroom...

Yup, looks juuuust like dear old Granny's amp.
She ran a "male entertainment clinic" and used to serenade the guests, with an old hollow body, while they waiting for the girls, to become..er...availiable. Police raided the place, and she tossed that amp, at the first officer, she saw. She'd have gone to prison too, if the chief-of-police, hadn't been upstairs, on his down time! Poor old amp was broken beyond repair. Just about broke the old girl's heart.
Well, she passed away at age 91, and I'll be dammed, if they didn't bury that amp with her!
I'll have to check to see if someone dug her up?
Because if they did...... :evil:
