Jim looked over the voodoo doll kit ... but then gradually realized that he really was not that into revenge. However, he noticed a box shelved right next to it. "Hullo," he wondered, peering at it, " ... Voodoh?"
Voodoh indeed. Evidently the rules were much the same as voodoo -- one required some item of the person in mind, like a nail clipping or a snippet of hair -- but the idea was to shape a great slab of modeling clay into whatever sort of body you wanted that person to have.
This appealed to Jim. He had always don fairly well in sculpting in art class, though that was a long time ago, but he felt confident that he still had the knack.
"Voodoh, huh?" he commented to Roberta as he brought it forth.
"Yeah, it's a play on Play-Doh," Roberta grumbled, obviously not impressed by the brand name. "So you're going to pay for this or what?"
Jim paid, and eventually got his new Voodoh home -- but who, he wondered, would be his first sculpting subject?
