The owner's buddy is a very curious person. He saw "the thing" for sale for only a couple of euros, wondering what is was used for. And really, the salesperson couldn't remember why the customer ordered it for. It was too long ago........
So the owner of "the thing" is now trying to find out. Normally he is very inventive, but with this "thing" he has absolutely no idea.
