humorous
i've always found this particular object inherently humorous.
and now, with all the different ways it relates to so many things and people and situations in my life, it is also ironically and symbolically funny.

If you put that in a frame you could sell it to the Tate Modern for millions. Seriously.
Is it a ballcock?

hello darlings.
it is called a bulb syringe. it is used to suction or irrigate things. it may also be called an ear syringe, a nasal syringe, or an ulcer syringe.
it is ubiquitous in pediatrics, for it is most frequently used to remove snot from babies' noses. i used to use them daily to clear the airways of newly born babies when i attended deliveries. its other uses, i'm sure, are myriad and fascinating, but i will neither discuss nor imagine them for you.
and kieran, you nailed it on the head. it is from a series by steve pyke at flowers east in new york. i took the image and turned it upside down, to display the object in the way it ought to be visualized in the mind, bulb on bottom.
