I'm carrying T-shirts with this message on them I Love Wolves...they taste like chicken. I am only going to stock at conventions black with white lettering in sizes XL and XXL. But- I can get next day service, any color or size. $12 a shirt. Get your own blonde..... Bonus question- I'll give a shirt to the firsto ne that can tell me what that round object is hanging from the fence, and what it was used for. Two hints- 1) its over 100 years old 2) its use was "common" in certain areas 100 years ago.

The shirts are a heavy, 100% preshrunk cotton, but are not made in the US. Very few non underwear type T-shirts are- even Hanes, etc are made in S America.
17hmr- nope!

I can't tell what that object is, and I can't really see the shirt for the glare from those legs!!!
I thought you were going to give a free shirt to the one who could guess whether or not you were wearing anything under that shirt. I wager . . . no.

A cover for a rain barrel. And if it's not that. A hat worn by the Chinese when they were working on the railroad.

It's a cover for an ice fishing hole. My grandpa had several of these hanging in his boat house. His nickname for 'em was "scovers". The concept involves placing this disc over the hole in the ice so the hole won't freeze over as quickly between fishing outings. It also keeps blowing snow from drifting into the hole. The thicker steel in the middle absorbs the sun's rays and thus heats up to keep the hole from freezing on sunny days.

nope, nope and nope.
clue #3- it was not used for its intended purpose, and has been produced from another item.

A young Amish man by the name of Duncan Frisbee was a youth group leader of his area, and had been tinkering with devices to take his mind off the temptations of the younger gals. After an exhaustive two years of tinkering with different materials and sizes, he arrived at the object you have there hanging on the fence. Actually, you have only half the original object. The other half was a mirror image, and the two were welded together. Duncan found that he could wrap a cord around the center of these two discs, then hang off the barn roof and wait for an elder to walk by. Timing the drop of the device correctly, he could split the straw hat in two without touching the scalp of the elder. The device free spun for a moment, then came flying back up to Duncan as the cord rewound. Duncan would quickly grab the object and hide 'twixt the hay bales 'till the coast was clear. This continued for quite a while until one day he miscalculated and drove the disc straight into the skull of one of the taller elders and killed him outright. Duncan, in grief, climbed down to the stricken elder, grabbed the device, and smashed it against a rock. The device lay broken in two before him. He grabbed each half, and with all his might flung these as far as he could. Not much can be found in Amish history books about Duncan Frisbee. His careless act cost him his life, as he was hung the next day. However . . . several of his charges had observed the overwrought Duncan Frisbee throwing these discs out into the fields, and with several years of tinkering . . . well . . . you know the rest of the story.
