That was hilarious. Of course I admit that I cannot defend this purchase. Do I get any credit for not wanting to use it myself? At least we didn't pay for it, right?

I will say that the "put your robe on backwards" doesn't quite accurately describe the Slanket. I don't know about your wife, but my wife's bathrobe only comes down to mid-calf. [edit: and I think the article you linked to sufficiently covers that issue. Did you get that far down?]
