When I was a small child and we used to go on vacation, chintzy motels used to have beds with "Magic Fingers" massage - for only a quarter!
Also in the Sixties, you used to be able to buy a thing for weight loss purposes that looked like a lawn motor motor with a belt coming out of it. You stood in front of the motor and put the belt around your waist and hips and it vibrated the fat away, supposedly.
The fun we can have with a little vibration!

Here's what they think about it in Hawaii. One memorable line: "To tie such a beautiful ancient Polynesian dance into what looks like a human stuck in a blender is unfortunate." - DvF

Unless the Hawaiian chair comes equipped with an irrigation device I don't think it's going to help. |

Wait. It's supposed to help with "slimming" AND it has a motor?
I feel like a jog. Will someone get over to my office and push me down the street in my chair?
