looks cute but is a real pain in the xx if you try to use it. a customer came with one of them. In the end, I had to unplug all other devices that were plugged in at my pc because I was not able to plug this $£*%# thing in otherwise. Holder(Business Card) is too large (blocks other plugs) and USB part is too small (you can hardly hold it to plug it in). But doesn't it look cute!

This Business Card Doubles As A Tread Depth Gauge
This is a great card and way better than using a penny as a gauge. Based on the colour codes and ruler lines, should the narrow right edge (red) be the base, raising vertically, so the colour gradually indicates if your tires are worn or not?
Yes, agreed. I don't think the picture properly demonstrates how to use the card.

This Attorney's Card Has A Statement Inside That Protects Your Rights And Gets Them Business
Give these to those idiots on TV shows who never ask for a lawyer and spill their guts at the first opportunity.
I’m suggesting, no recommending not, telling my attorney to have cards like this made up so I no longer will have answer the law. My legal eagle will claw and caw, for me. So there.
When I was still in high school I read an article written by a police officer about your rights. He said never talk to the police without an attorney, even if you haven't done anything. He also said never, ever let the police into your house without a warrant. You can talk on the porch. One time a policeman came to ask me about an incident in my neighborhood. I declined to let him in. He asked why not. I asked if he would let me into his house. He said, "Good point."
