This must have been asked previously.

Why hasn't vince got his own section in Prolifics instead of hidden in a bplus thread?

Looks like a Klein Bottle to me, made from 2 Mobius Bands.

So a solid Klein Bottle, like the orange one in the middle of the pictures Steve provided, would only hold air? The other two seem to be mirror opposites so you could join them together but you would need to hold them upside down to get any fluid in them (aka wine) but that fluid would only fill the neck, not the body of the bottle. If you filled the neck, then turned the bottle upside down to try and get the fluid in the body of the bottle wouldn't it just pour back out of the neck? So both the orange and white Klein Bottles are designed to hold air? Maybe heat them up and hold hot air   

Vince has a fish-net Klein Bottle, maybe stuff it full of grocery products and sling it over your shoulder.

Trust a realist to take an imaginative shape and make it practical.

I'm not in-Kliened to buy any damn Klein bottle anytime soon. In other words, I de-Klein! Oh, unless you figure out how to put a shade on the red one. I mean even I can find a use for an in-Klein-descent lamp.

Maybe they're spill-resistant bottles?  You fill them with something like a mild perfume and then sit them in a special made container so the opening is at top instead of bottom (upside down).  This would allow evaporation and the aeration to occur and odorize your home.  Then when not in use, just turn it rightside up and the opening is now sealed by the ground to stop it from spilling out.
