At least, they weren't all men.

But, as my wife pointed out, the woman was French...

How do you explain to your wife that you lost your balls at the golf course?

It is a "virtual pet."
Essentually it is a "game-boy" type device that acts like an animal. You need to nurture it and play with it (by pressing buttons). They would beep and cry every few minutes.
I was a camp counselor and a bunch of kids had these. By the end of the summer the counselors were using them for baseballs.

The punchline goes, "Old golfers never die. They just loose the key to the golf cart."

What is a Tamagotchi key ring?

A sign that this list has been around for a while? It was a kid fad about 6-8 years ago. A little egg shaped electronic gizmo with a LCD screen. A little digital pet would cavort on screen and it was programmed to need food, water, medicine and other kinds of care that you had to supply by pressing a series of buttons. If you didn't care for it your "pet" would die and a little gravestone would appear on screen.

Tamagochi key rings are digital pets that "live" inside a small display area, only as big as the "charm" for a key ring.

I had a tamagochi bunny for a while. It needed to be fed, played with, and to take naps.

Yes, sometimes while I was driving.

If you did not meet its needs in a timely manner, it would "die," get x marks on its eyelids, sprout wings and go to heaven.

Very, very sad.

You could get it to come back by rebooting.

When it was time for me to take care of the bunny, I would pull over to the side of the road.

After the danged bunny died a few times, I got over it.

I would like to mention that I did not buy the bunny, it was a Christmas gift to one of my kids.

Who was heartbroken when the bunny died the first time, so I tried to save the bunny so my kid wouldn't be traumatized.

I am a very good mother but the danged bunny died, anyway.

Several times.

The moral of the story is that even good mothers can't save a digital bunny when its time comes.
