{{quote|''See how she leanes her cheek upon her hand.''
''O that I were a glove upon that hand,''
''That I might touch that cheek.''
|''[[Romeo and Juliet]]''}}
It never fails; show a sexy woman holding some object close to her mouth, breasts, crotch, or any other similarly suggestive area (or even just touching her), and somebody will say "Boy, I wish I were that (object)." Even if [[Maggie Gyllenhaal|she's]] [[Let's Meet the Meat|eating an apple]].
Similar to [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]] - only there the guy doesn't just want to be the cargo, he wants to be the ''entire package''.
Obviously related to [[Cargo Ship]].
