Sounds like he was easily amused.

Here at the beach a few years ago, one tourist shop offered:

"Your name printed on a grain of rice - $5.00"
LOL! Very weird yet different and unique.

They used a laser something and they actually printed your name on a single
grain of rice. You could only see it by using maybe a magnifying glass, or
more likely a microscope?

Anyway, that was strange enough that I was tempted to buy a few for future
gifts to family or friends.
