This is from a yard sale last summer. A wife was shedding all the freebees her young Dr. acquired along the way. This zebra is the mascot for the drug that start with a “z”. That’s where the association ends.
Zebra begins with a “Z”…

I’m always amazed at how dumb looking all the promo items made for doctors are. The pens always look like they’re toys and I always feel the urge to ask the receptionist at any doctor’s office I’m at if I can take the one I’m using because I love the big clunky feel.
I can think of a few drugs that start with ‘Z’ and a zebra doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with any of them. Stay away from marketing folks who think an association is large enough just because two things start with the same first letter. As a consequence, you end up with a pen cup that looks like a zebra is engaging in sexual activity with it.
(The AWMOK Jungle Animal Petting Zoo is a scenic attraction whose cages are currently being filled to coincide with the release of the upcoming Pomplamoose with Allee Willis “Jungle Animal” VideoSong and online music game and contest. Jungle tamer, AWMOK creator, curator and charming hostess, Allee Willis, me, will be steadily leading jungle animals to their cages over the next 1-2 months or so as you bring them here until the song is released. If ever there ever was a category that was primed to be kitschified it’s that of “Jungle Animal” as all the stripes, spots and fur have been inspiration for designers since the beginning of time. I thank you all in advance for placing your jungle pets in such an illustrious cage as The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch. Keep them coming!)

Considering drug companies spend billions wooing perspective prescribers when the people who might actually need the drugs they produce can’t even begin to afford them, i think it should be illegal for drug companies to market and cater to drs with things like pens, free dinners and booze etc…Wait, I probably shouldn’t rant on the AWMOK! :)
I do love that zebra though…he’s is SO happy to be hugging that cup that you can’t help but smile and really, that’s all that matters….:)

I agree with you 6000% re the drug companies. Disgusting!!!!! The medical system in this country is disgusting. As you know, it’s no place to be sick.
