I'd like to see someone try that at the Ikea in East Palo Alto. The cashiers would probably put a choke hold on the jokesters. Tough cookies in that store.
Oh, and as for baking soda -- it makes a great poultice for poison oak. Mix up a thick paste of it and dribble that onto the affected area. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so, wash it off, pat it dr...

It does look like testicles, and I don't spend time around large, ungelded animals.
