Imagine returning to your office after weeks away, only to find your precious collection of Supreme Court bobbleheads shattered on the floor. That’s precisely what happened to a dedicated collector this week when one of his display cases decided it couldn’t handle the weight any longer. The last bobble added to the crew was none other than Justice Elena Kagan, and let’s just say she might be facing some serious blame for this catastrophe!
With Justice Clarence Thomas suffering the worst fate—his head completely shattered—this incident could be labeled a true bobblehead tragedy. Our collector expressed his hopes that crazy glue can do the trick in reassembling his beloved figures. However, one can’t help but wonder if this collection truly can withstand another thrilling trial.
Reflecting on the situation, there’s a certain humor in the chaos. Bobbleheads as decor may seem light-hearted, but when they go tumbling down, it can feel like a heavyweight match in the office. How many of us have our own prized collections—big or small—that we’d be devastated to see damaged? It’s a light-hearted reminder that sometimes, it takes a tumble to realize how much we cherish our quirky belongings.
