i found this fancy little number while perusing the web. no folks, this is not a joke. it is quite possibly the most disturbing inhumane thing i have ever seen not to mention the most useless…

An Australian family favourite - the perfect bar accessory for anyone who likes to impress their mates with their toys.

This, is a genuine kangaroo scrotum folks, if you click on the picture to enlarge it you’ll notice an abundance of hair… yes, the kangaroo has hairy balls too!

According to legend, there lived in the center of Australia an aboriginal boy. He came once upon a small kangaroo in the bush, caught it by the tail, and made a purse out of its dear little symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his girl, and she kept seeds and berries in it. Next he saw a large kangaroo. He caught it with a spear and made another purse from its thick, large and abundant symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his father who kept stones and things of value in it.

Ever since then, male kangaroo scrotum purses have been popular amongst the aborigines. For women, the soft pliable one; for men the strong, wrinkled one. They became as important as one’s own symbol of masculinity and were recognized as the bringing luck items. That’s why kangaroo scrotum purse is often called the “Lucky Bag” or “Lucky Pouch”.

Now you might wonder why we Aussies are lopping off one of our national symbol’s testicles and shamelessly promoting them as a souvenir… after all, you don’t see Africans selling giraffe tongue, or zebra stripes.

Kangaroo is subject to Australian Government protection, but needs to be constantly harvested to control its numbers owing to its prolific breeding habits. (They root like rabbits here, I tell ya!)
