And the size queen totebag, sitting at an attendee's feet with only a thin layer of flimsy thin brochures and one sheet informational giveaways, disdainful of the tickle of single business cards, eyeing the luxurious pseudo-leather folding legal pad holders with longing.

It's the stress balls that get me. I've seen the airplane shaped ones, and the globe shaped ones, with the continents in green and the little firetruck shaped ones and old school computer monitor-shaped ones, not balls at all, but squares of foam for squishing.
But are there specific stress balls for medical conferences? A realistic uterus, maybe. What does a prostate look like? Does Viagra sponsor a...you know what, I'm stopping there.
I've seen white sperm-shaped ones! Somebody gave 'em out years ago at a small SF con I went to here in Tucson, TusCon. The tails were about 6" long, they were AMAZINGLY aerodynamic, so we ended up flinging 'em back and forth at each other.
