This reminds me of a story my mother told me about her parents. It was my grandmother's birthday, and she and my grandfather hadn't really been getting along very well. Much to her surprise, she awoke to find breakfast in bed and a note informing her of a birthday scavenger hunt, with the first clue. She followed the clue, of course, and became more excited about the present with each note. Her quest carried her all over the house and all across the property(they were living in a farm house in a small town in Ontario at the time). Finally, she found a piece of paper wrapped around a smooth wooden disk with two holes in it. The note said,

"Tweet, tweet
Twiddle, twiddle,
There's only one gift
With two holes in the middle."

It was a homemade thumb-twiddler.
Now I imagine you know why they're divorced.

I think my grandfather invented it. Basically, it's just a wooden disc with two holes in it. You stick your thumbs into the holes while you twiddle them, and it keeps them a constant distance apart.
