I got this gift from a constituent in Rosemead a few months ago. She said she saw it a garage sale and thought of me. I told her I couldn’t accept it if it was more than $5 — a policy I’m not really sure of but figured it made sense. “Don’t worry,” she said. “It’s not.” To be on the safe side, I asked my bosses if I should keep it. Sure, they said.

But the real question is this: What the hell is it???
